I focus on providing a safe space where couples can address bumps in the road and develop the skills needed to build and sustain their relationship.

Kristina Anzell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CPSC
66% of couples see a decrease in the relationship satisfaction after the baby arrives, so you are not alone, you are actually in the majority! There are so many shifts and changes to your lives that you can look at your partner and not really know who they are, or notice that you haven't actually talked about anything but baby in months. You notice that you are fighting more and having less fun together. It is starting to feel a little off, but you still love each other and want to find a way back to each other. I can help you do that!

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—people‑pleasing, conflict avoidance, repeating the same dynamics, or feeling unseen and alone even when partnered. As you grow more connected to your own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom, you can begin to create relationships that feel safer, more reciprocal, and deeply nourishing.

Karina Larios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
In a society that can sometimes be hyperfocused on boundaries, it can leave us feeling distant from those we most love and care about. I work with all relationships, partnerships of all sexual orientations, mother-daughter, siblings, or friends who wish to find the balance between care and healthly boundaries. I provided a grounded space and have an attachment theory approach.

Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been working with couples in therapy for over 30 years. I have written a book, "It's a Bedroom, not a Boardroom," on process communication rather than competitive styles of communicating. I often work with couples who own businesses together and are outcome driven. I work to improve their communication and compassion in the relationship. I work with couples who are facing resentments and betrayals as well as with couples who wish to improve their communication skills and develop compassion for each other.

Marcelle Little
Marriage and Family Therapist, MPH, MA
Who does not or has not had a challenging relationship? Our deepest desire is to connect; yet, conflict and pain is unavoidable. Seeing things from an attachment style lens (anxious, avoidant, chaotic) helps identify gaps while cultivating self-compassion, a conduit for intimacy and connection to Self and others.

LaTianna Williams, Therapy, Sexology, and Holistic Tantra
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CTRS, ABS
Relationship & Marriage Counseling: Relationship struggles rarely come from one issue alone. You may be dealing with recurring arguments, communication breakdowns, trust issues, emotional distance, intimacy challenges, infidelity, or simply feeling like you and your partner are no longer on the same team. Over time, these patterns can create frustration, loneliness, resentment, and uncertainty about whether the relationship can be repaired.
As a therapist, sexologist, and tantra practitioner, I help individuals and couples understand the deeper emotional, psychological, and relational dynamics that shape their connection. Together, we identify the patterns that keep you stuck, improve communication, and rebuild emotional safety so both partners can feel heard, understood, and valued.
This work is about more than resolving conflict. It is about transforming the way you relate to each other so you can create a relationship that feels more conscious, connected, emotionally honest, and deeply fulfilling.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I have over a decade of expertise in conceptualizing and treating struggling interpersonal and intimate relationships. Through a honed lens of social constructionism, I focus on understanding and meeting the unique needs, meanings, and values of each relationship. Every relationship is unlike any other. This stance promotes authentic curiosity and explores how we make meaning together. Meaning and action are closely interwoven in our relationships, and each member of the relational context influences the culture and landscape of the interpersonal experiences within. In therapy, we collaborate in creating a new way of relating that allows the rediscovery of empathy for each other in these contexts, and resolves troubling patterns of communication and differences in expectations that negatively impact understanding, connection, and value...
I believe relationships and context matter. Research shows that relationship distress causes problems in mental health, work, children, and even your own physical health. Yet, healthy relationships protect you from stress and help you thrive.
I believe in using relationship therapy that works. I practice evidence-based therapy, which means I use therapeutic practices that have been studied and supported by empirical research studies.
I work with clients to improve their interpersonal functioning both within relational contexts (i.e., couples, families), as well as with individuals who would like to focus on their past, present, and future interpersonal interactions. Clients explore the relational impacts of experiences such as rejection sensitivity, feelings of codependency, attachment concerns, life transitions, divorce, trust, shame, self-esteem, assertiveness, and the impact of dating in the digital-age (i.e., feeling ignored, insecure, ghosting, text communications).
Unfortunately, most people don't have access to effective help for their relationships nor have they been taught what healthy relationships and communication look like. Because of this, I also prioritize increasing access to couple therapy by offering telehealth, evening and weekend scheduling, and lower-cost options that are tailored to Client needs and resources.
I strive to understand your goals, help you communicate and form these goals explicitly, and reach them effectively. I have worked with couples, families, parents, Veterans, adolescents, and individuals on strengthening their relationships and interpersonal skills. I have expertise in working with LGBTQIA+ relationships, sex therapy, and increasing physical and emotional intimacy between partners who seek nonjudgmental therapeutic space and openness to non-traditional relationships (i.e., polyamory, open relationships, play partners, swingers, friends with benefits (FWBs), BDSM etc.). I work with couples/relationships and individuals addressing pornography consumption, kink, and all manner of consensual play. (See additional relational competencies in the ‘diversity’ sections and relationship based ‘services.’) I often employ a mixture of Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Couples Therapy when working with intimate partners. I have an extensive background in Family Systems modalities as well, including Gottman Method, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, and others.
There are several forms of relational therapy you can engage in:
Couple Therapy and Therapy with Romantic Partners
Family Therapy
Therapy for Friends or Coworkers
Relationship Therapy for Individuals (just you!)
Relationship Education
Relationship Coaching (for just you or you and your partner(s))
Premarital Coaching

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Relationships are my jam! While I do not do couple's therapy, I work with my clients to understand the root of their relationship issues and find a path for growth. I have studied relationships for years. Heck, my dissertation was entitled "How Gay Men Foster Marital Success," which required I study all types of relationships to understand the cultural, societal, and individual differences that arise in relationship formation through relationship maturity.

Corrie Blissit
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT#150479
Strong relationships are built on emotional safety, honest communication, and satisfying intimacy. As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), I work with couples using an integrative approach that honors the emotional, relational, and embodied dimensions of connection. I support partners in exploring both emotional and sexual intimacy in a respectful, shame-free way. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, mismatched desire, disconnection, or navigating changes in intimacy, our work focuses on understanding relational patterns, repairing ruptures, rebuilding trust, and strengthening closeness. Sessions draw from attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed care, nervous system awareness, and sex-positive frameworks—supporting couples in feeling more secure, connected, and aligned with one another.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Marriages and long term relationships can go through rocky periods as well as rewarding chapters. Recurring arguments, emotional distance, parenting pressures, financial stress, affairs or other breeches of trust can take your relationship in a direction you never anticipated. You can end up feeling lonely in your relationship. Or you may feel unheard, starting conversations with good intent but ending up having the same fight over and over. Relationship and marriage counseling can help rebuild trust, healthy communication and emotional connection. In couples therapy we can identify where the communication breaks down, and help both partners feel understood and valued. I combine insightful, caring depth work and emotion focused therapy techniques with other evidence based tools that effectively free you from destructive patterns, and help you to establish the secure, happy relationship you deserve.

Peter Cellarius
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SEP, EFT, EFIT
What does couples counseling look like?
Each session is completely confidential. As we work together, you will learn how to communicate better, identify disruptive patterns, and work as a team.
In our first meeting we’ll discuss your hopes, wishes and goals. My job is to build safety, make sure you are heard, and start to develop a view of what is going on under the covers. Often, deep emotions and longings drive our behaviors. That last fight may not be about his family or what you said. It may be about whether you feel you are still loved, that you matter to your partner, that you are cherished. These roots go deep.
The approach I use, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), has over 30 years of research showing it works. 75% of couples who complete the sessions say their issues were resolved. Of these, over 90% say things are still as good, or better, two years later. EFT is powerful.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
I work on both ends of the relationship funnel - those going in , those stuck in the middle and those going out. Relationship dynamics are complicated but building the connection is easy. Through building communication skills and listening techniques, it is possible to see things clearly. I use CBT, CCT and EFT to effectively cut through emotional clutter to get you back on track.
