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.

With couples, we emphasize good communication skills as part of the foundation of any relationship and utilize our training and experience to help couples break negative cycles and see themselves as being on the same team, rather than as adversaries as they work through specific issues that are a challenge to having a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Tanya Samuelian
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
You may love each other—but feel distant, misaligned, or stuck in the same arguments. High-achieving couples often face unique pressures: demanding careers, limited time, and the struggle to stay emotionally connected. I help couples navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and communicate more effectively—so you can strengthen your relationship with clarity, intention, and care.

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.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Couples therapy focuses on communication, emotional safety, sexual connection, and breaking repetitive conflict cycles. I help partners move from blame to understanding and from distance to deeper connection. We will work a lot on learning to communicate and remembering that even though we may "know" are partners to remain curious about one another and how to share and take in each other with newness.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Relationships are influenced by far more than communication skills alone. They are shaped by attachment histories, nervous system patterns, culture, identity, neurodivergence, trauma, family systems, roles, beliefs, and the ways each person learned to seek connection and safety.
Using attachment-focused, nervous system centered, emotionally focused, neurodiversity-affirming, and relational approaches, I help partners deepen understanding, strengthen connection, navigate conflict, reconnect with play, co-regulate, and cultivate relationships that feel more authentic, secure, and supportive. I offer a space to slow down recurring patterns, increase compassion, and create new ways of relating that honor both individual and shared needs.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Welcome. When working with couples, adult family relationships, and friendships, I take an attachment approach. I want to get to know the stories of past and present relationships, relational patterns, stresses, dreams, and victories that are currently impacting your felt-sense of being known, safely, and fully in your relationship(s). I infuse the decades of research and communication templates of Gottman Method Couples Counseling with the tailored insight of Attachment Core Pattern Therapy. Together we'll discover what part of the relational conflict is really about the issue you're discussing, really about the person you're in conflict with, the deeper roots of pain that are being triggered, and how the relationship you're in can be a part of your healing the rooted relational injury.

Rinat Kass
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Relationships are a crucial component to our well being and fulfillment in life. Unfortunately, most of us did not have good role models while growing up to show us how to successfully navigate the conflicts and challenges that every relationship is bound to experience. Thankfully, it is never too late to learn how to build healthy and meaningful relationships. In our work together, I will lean on years of studying relationships and the best ways to help people create fulfilling connections.

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.

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

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.

Riverside is home to UC Riverside and is the economic and cultural hub of the Inland Empire — a vast suburban region east of Los Angeles where high housing costs, long commutes, and economic pressures create distinct mental health challenges for a predominantly working- and middle-class population. The city has a significant Latino and Black population, and bilingual and culturally affirming therapists serve important access roles in communities where language and cultural fit are barriers to mainstream mental health services. Riverside University Health System provides institutional mental health resources for one of California's largest and fastest-growing counties. UC Riverside's psychology program feeds practitioners into the local community, though the Inland Empire as a whole remains underserved relative to coastal California metros.
