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.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide couples therapy to partners who want to deepen their relationship and overcome challenges. In some cases, an event has shaken the relationship; in others, couples want to work on making their bond the best it can be. Marriage counseling can make a huge difference, whether there are significant issues or just a feeling that things could be (or have been) better. Marriage counseling and relationship therapy often shows relatively fast results.

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

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I have training in emotionally focused therapy for families. I work with families who are struggling with disconnection due to difficulty communicating, understanding, appreciating, and accepting each other. I help these families by deepening their awareness of what is causing their own behavior within the family, learn to communicate more clearly and honestly, and practice hearing each other better so that families can become more connected through conflict rather than more isolated. I especially enjoy working with families navigating parent-adult child relationships.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
The greatest factor in the quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. When love breaks down, everything else feels shaky. The distance grows, conversations turn tense or quiet, and what once felt natural starts to feel like work. You may be stuck in cycles of arguing, avoidance, or wondering if trust can ever be restored.
At Rising Calm Center, we believe every couple can learn to love more deeply—with honesty, empathy, and grace. Our Christian counselors help you heal from the past, understand the present, and build a future marked by peace, purpose, and partnership.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend faith-based wisdom with proven relationship methods—Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), family systems work, and communication coaching—to help you:
• Rebuild trust after conflict or betrayal
• Communicate clearly without criticism or withdrawal
• Heal old wounds that fuel anger, shame, or fear
• Strengthen friendship, intimacy, and shared spiritual connection
• Experience genuine joy and unity that lasts
Every conversation is grounded in empathy and truth. We help you slow down, listen well, and rediscover each other through the lens of grace.
Whether you’re newly married or years into a challenging season, there is hope. You can restore what’s been lost and create something stronger than before.
At Rising Calm Center, we help couples reconnect with purpose, love with courage, and grow together in Christ-centered peace.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

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.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
In relationship and marriage coaching, I help couples discover that emotions—even the difficult ones—can become pathways to connection rather than threats to the relationship. Conflict often escalates when partners feel attacked, misunderstood, or alone. When we slow down and learn to listen differently, the same moments that once created distance can become opportunities for understanding and repair.
Our work focuses on reducing reactive cycles and building practical communication skills: validating your partner’s experience even when you don’t agree, assuming positive intent, and speaking from feelings and needs rather than blame. You’ll learn how to describe the situation that triggered the emotion without making your partner the problem, and how to make clear, respectful requests for what would help. The goal is emotional safety, mutual respect, and a relationship that can hold the full range of human emotion with greater clarity and care.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with couples at all stages of their relationships, from those looking to deepen connection to those navigating significant strain or considering major decisions about the future. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and profoundly challenging, and many couples find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or recurring conflict.
My approach is active, direct, and grounded in helping both partners better understand not only each other, but their own contributions to the dynamic. I focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering greater emotional awareness and accountability within the relationship.
I also draw from structured approaches, including discernment counseling when one partner feels uncertain about whether to stay or leave, creating space for thoughtful, intentional decision-making.
The goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help couples build more meaningful, resilient, and satisfying ways of relating—whether that leads to strengthening the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps.
