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.

Hayden Dover MFT - Couples Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Have you and your partner become distant? Do you and your partner feel like roommates? Do you miss the passion and deep connection you once had in your relationship? Do you long for deeper emotional and sexual intimacy in your marriage? Do you feel hopeless and frustrated by the lack of intimacy in your relationship? Does your relationship cause you more stress than it relieves? Do you have arguments with your partner that go nowhere? Do you and your partner struggle with communication issues, conflict or sexual issues that undermine your ability to have a fulfilling relationship? Do you wish that your relationship could be more rewarding for you and your partner?
During our ninety-minute couples sessions, you and your partner will receive holistic, solution-focused approaches to help you develop clear communication, effective conflict resolution skills, and strategies to fulfill each other’s emotional and sexual needs. You will be supported in creating a more enriching relationship together in which you feel known, loved, supported and deeply connected.
I provide couples counseling, sex therapy and premarital counseling for couples because I believe that our intimate relationships are our best opportunities for deep connection, intimacy, support and pleasure. I’m passionate about supporting couples in creating more effective, intimate and rewarding relationships. Call or email me today to set up an initial consultation and we’ll take the first step toward creating a more fulfilling relationship together.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships can become strained when patterns of miscommunication, defensiveness, or disconnection take hold. I work with couples to understand these patterns at a deeper level, focusing on how each partner contributes to the dynamic. Therapy provides a space to slow things down, improve understanding, and develop more meaningful and stable ways of relating.

Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I value loving marriage as a challenging and satisfying personal growth path. I also believe raising children is important and a challenge. Parents need a strong relationship for themselves and their children.
And it's a joy for me help women find their forever person. I work with them through their dating process to assess possible partners, and choose a good person. I teach tools like the Myers Briggs Personality Indicator, Attachment style assessment, and Effective Communication Skills to help them strengthen their relationship toolkit.
With my married couples, I help them develop communication and intimacy skills within their marriage to create the positive relationship that will thrive in our current culture and last forever.

It is important to maintain positive attachments and validation of differences & diversity between partners, as well as, the time for forgiveness and letting go of negativity and hurt feelings. The initial love attraction can become stronger in time, as one's love comes with acceptance of one another.

Marriage counseling is another specialty of mine. I take great pleasure in teaching couples how to become Loving Communicators. Loving Communicators is a set of skills taught and practiced so you can 'have and to hold' the most loving, harmonious union a marriage was meant to be.
I integrate three modes of marriage counseling: Solo, Traditional and Guided. Solo, to address individual needs, Traditional, both partners present, and Guided, with my book, Loving Communicators.

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

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Communication difficulties are often at the center of relational conflict; partners and family members may feel missed, disconnected, unheard, and misunderstood. Couples sessions are geared toward reworking the communication and interaction patterns that may have become ingrained in your partnership or family unit - to assist in rebuilding trust, connection, and cohesion. Learning about ourselves, the ways we show up in our relationships, and our response tendencies can shed important light on these patterns, the relational needs that are unmet within them, and ways to step outside of them. One of the most important first steps in our work together is to begin seeing these overarching patterns as the reasons for pain, rather than treating the pain as being the fault of an individual partner or family member.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, the bulk of my research and practice is on relationships. Couples often seek counseling to improve their communication, resolve conflicts, improve their intimacy, recover from infidelity, manage an addiction, or work through a stressor. Sharing a life with another person comes with challenges. I'll share some tools for managing roadblocks and help strengthen your bond.

I have worked with hundreds of couples over the years and using Gottman Therapy and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy), my goal is to improve empathy and communication. My hope is to give couples the tools to thrive and have a healthier understanding of themselves and their partners. The better we are for ourselves, the better we can be for everyone else. Breaking the cycles of dysfunction take time, but once we understand what is driving the pain, we can move toward a place of peace.

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).
