Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
As humans, we are wired for connection. Navigating a healthy, fulfilling long-term relationship is challenging and requires all parties to be willing to grow emotionally.
As someone who believes in and supports a diversity of relational styles including monogamous, ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous, etc. we can work together to help you craft the right communication skills for whatever type of relationship you are developing with your partner or partners. I believe the most essential piece for a thriving union is direct, honest, and kind communication between individuals. Recognizing that we live in a world with a vast range of gender identities and sexualities—including queer, gay and lesbian, bisexual, asexual, and straight—I am invested in helping you identify the specific issues you will need to address in order to achieve a more well-rounded partnership. Together we will determine and implement the tools necessary to cultivate an open and connected dialogue within your relationship. These skills will allow you to generatively deal with topics like sex, ethical non-monogamy, finances, children, and careers (to name a few).

Piyola Derbarseghian- Sex & Relationship Therapist
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Relationships are where we seek connection, but they can also be where we feel the most stuck or misunderstood. I work with individuals, couples, and people in non-traditional relationship structures to improve communication, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, and break free from painful patterns. Whether you're navigating conflict, disconnection, or big life transitions, therapy offers a space to reconnect with yourself and your partner(s).

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.

Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Your marriage or primary relationship should be your safe place - the place you go to get away from stress, get recharged, and find comfort. But when your marriage is the source of your stress, you can feel lonely and trapped. When communication breaks down and trust is compromised, it may seem like the situation can't be fixed. But if both parties are motivated to make the kinds of changes necessary to save their relationship, incredible things can happen. Your relationship can go from miserable to meaningful and satisfying. My specialty is teaching partners to talk to one another with kindness, compassion, patience and respect. Marriages almost never end because the partners don't love each other any more. Their marriages end because the partners can't work out their differences. That's where a third party, a counselor, can really be helpful. Let me help you find each other again. Don't lose hope before giving counseling a try.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Doctorate in Behavioral Health Leadership
Couples therapy is not about deciding who’s right — it’s about learning how to hear each other and rebuild trust. I help partners slow down their conflicts, identify recurring cycles, and practice new ways of connecting that strengthen the relationship.

Relationship and marriage counseling addresses patterns of connection, conflict, intimacy, and emotional closeness between partners.

We are a social species. We need human connection. Healthy human connection. Relationships can be a place to foster growth as individuals and as a unit.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with couples and individuals who want support strengthening their relationships or navigating ongoing challenges within them. This includes married couples, long term partners, LGBTQ couples, and people in non traditional or non monogamous relationships. I believe healthy relationships are built on trust, communication, and emotional safety, and that there is no single right way for a relationship to look.
In therapy, I help partners better understand each other’s needs, improve communication, and address patterns that lead to conflict or disconnection. This may include working through issues related to intimacy, boundaries, infidelity, or differences in values and expectations. I offer an affirming and respectful space where all identities, relationship structures, and experiences are welcomed without judgment.
Whether your goal is to repair and strengthen your relationship or to gain clarity about its future, therapy can help you move forward with greater understanding, honesty, and connection.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I enjoy working with couples and tend to use the Gottman Method to inform my work. This includes working on communicating anger in a constructive manner, increasing friendship and intimacy, removing barriers that create feelings of "stuckness" in the relationship, and increasing empathy and understanding between partners. I have also found attachment work to be beneficial in my work with couples.

Empowered Wellbeing, Decolonizing Intersectional and Integrative Complex Trauma & Dissociation Recovery Support
Life Coach, view my credentials online at: www.recoveringfromwithin.com/credentialslongform
Our training with Relational: Couples/Partners/Family/Chosen Family... work includes Nonviolent Communication, Neurodevelopmental Models, Real Life Therapy, Compassionate Mediation, Convergent Facilitation, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems and Intimacy from the Inside Out work, Neurodiversity Training...among other trainings. Partners/Couples/Chosen Family work can range from addressing a topical issue to growing and developing capacity with deeper connection. Sometimes the care is in supporting folks to identify differing neurobiological baselines and functionality that allows for better acceptance and creative teamwork. We may even draw from sidereal astrology and archetypal work to find creative options. (Statement of care: Sometimes, not always!!!! (the sad truth is) people have transactional or fantasy based relationships and they don't want to admit that that is what the setup is by one or both people, and without shame if folks in these situations can admit that, then there is generally less stress to make a relationship behave as something it isn't setup to be -- said with care. Often this needs to be addressed before progress can be made.) Sessions are typically 2 hours long and address issues efficiently, often individual sessions are woven in for both/all participants. Please feel free to inquire about scheduling a first session.

IEMT Trauma Therapy
Hypnotherapist, C.Ht., NLP, I.E.M.T., B.T.P, Adv-EFT., CBT Specialist
I cannot counsel couples but I can educate anyone on relationship strategies and why some people behave one way or another. How many reading have said to themselves, "If he/she would only just do what I need them to do and not buck me, we'd get along just fine" or "If she/he would only change that behavior I do not like - How can I make that happen?"
Of course you cannot change anyone to do anything - But you can change you and how you react to your partner.
This concept is quite effective helping people understand their own relationship habits and patterns. Learn and then be ready to have the most amazing relationship you could ever imagine! It really does work!
