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).

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships and marriage are the greatest pursuits in life that also tend to bring about some of the deepest pains. The relationship that you may have hoped would be different or healing has left you feeling hurt once again. It takes courage to seek help

Yukiko K Hartman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MS, LPCC, LMHC
Why are relationships so sweet some time and so difficult other time? It's because we have emotional connection with our loved ones. In fact, building close relationship and maintaining it require a lot of awareness of what's happening in you and your partner, and between two of you. Also, knowing how to maintain emotional connection and how to repair the connection quickly when it's broken is the key for you to keep your important relationship going. In my therapy, we will look into your relationship to see what is not working and how it has affected you and your partner. I will introduce to you many elements of healthy relationship and have you learn new skills and behaviors. Relationship issues are often complicated and take time before you see the improvement. So, you may need to commit to therapy, but I believe it is worth your time and effort if you think your relationship is important for you.

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.

Tracy Sachs (Singh)
Therapist, MA, AMFT
Relationships can be rich sources of both fulfillment and pain. Through relationships we are often confronted with our own earlier attachment wounding, which when unconscious, can lead to conflict and discord. In couples therapy I will help you and your partner feel safe and expand your capacity for intimacy. I will help you both understand and undo the unconscious patterns that keep your relationship stuck in a dance of distress and support you to establish and maintain a deep emotional connection and the ability to repair when inevitable conflicts occur.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman

Strong marriages don't happen by accident, they're built intentionally, one conversation at a time. We help couples at every stage understand the patterns keeping them stuck, rebuild trust and emotional intimacy, and develop the skills for a relationship that genuinely thrives. Whether you're in crisis or simply wanting more, we provide a calm, structured space to do the work.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Conflict in relationships often reflects deeper developmental patterns shaped long before the partnership began. I integrate IFS, attachment-based models, and EFT to help couples understand how early relational experiences influence current dynamics.
Together, we slow down reactive cycles, strengthen emotional regulation, and build secure attachment within the relationship. Therapy provides a structured, supportive environment for repair, accountability, and renewed connection.

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.

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.
