Brett Ryan
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #128956
Marriage is difficult. The person we committed to loving the rest of our lives, is sometimes the person we can't stand to be around. Often times people wonder, "did I marry the wrong person?". These are common experiences and what I work on with couples. I utilize EFT to help a couple dive deep into their relationship, heal past wounds, and build the marriage they want

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.

Matthew Bishop
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.

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.

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.

Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been working with couples in therapy for over 30 years. I have written a book, "It's a Bedroom, not a Boardroom," on process communication rather than competitive styles of communicating. I often work with couples who own businesses together and are outcome driven. I work to improve their communication and compassion in the relationship. I work with couples who are facing resentments and betrayals as well as with couples who wish to improve their communication skills and develop compassion for each other.

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.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Relationships are difficult. It takes many very unnatural behaviors to create a high-quality relationship. Improving your reactions to your partner is the most important aspect and, since it is the only thing you can control anyway, this is your work. Whether it's in a couple’s session or you do the work individually, you will need to improve yourself and your reactivity and become a better you. Too many couples enter my office and expect me to change their partner because they want relief from their negative interactions. I will always gently steer things back to what you can do to make things better. My style is solution oriented, where I will give you all the tools I can in order to reduce conflict and increase connection, making a better relationship.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Every relationship faces challenges—communication breakdowns, recurring conflicts, trust issues, intimacy concerns, or simply feeling disconnected from your partner. Whether you're engaged, newly married, or have been together for years, therapy can help you strengthen your connection and navigate difficulties together.Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) principles, we'll identify unhelpful thinking patterns that fuel misunderstandings and conflict, develop practical communication skills, and create new strategies for managing disagreements constructively. You'll learn concrete tools you can use to improve your relationship both in and outside of sessions.My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental. I'm not here to take sides, but to help both partners feel heard, understood, and empowered to create the relationship you both want. Whether you're looking to repair what's broken or strengthen what's already good, couples therapy can help you move forward together.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Relationships ask a lot of us, especially during seasons of change, disconnection, or conflict. I work with couples to slow things down, understand what's happening beneath the surface, and move forward with clarity, whether that means finding a way back to each other or navigating what comes next with honesty and care.
