Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can feel especially challenging when your brain works in ways that don’t quite match what others expect. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a therapeutic space built around how you think: full of empathy, structure, and insight. Because we understand how intense focus, rapid associations, or lingering disconnects impact connection, we tailor couples and relational work to translate misunderstandings into deeper understanding, and build communication strategies that really work for your unique style. With support built around your perspective, you can move from friction and confusion toward connection and clarity.

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

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Relationships can bring immense joy and connection, but they can also be a source of pain, conflict, and frustration. You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling emotionally disconnected, struggling with trust, or having difficulty communicating your needs effectively. I help individuals and couples understand the patterns driving these challenges, strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and create healthier, more secure relationships. Together, we work toward building greater understanding, trust, and connection while addressing the underlying issues that keep couples feeling stuck.

Anat Sideman
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
There is nothing quite as wonderful as a secure, romantic, committed love relationship. Yet even in the most loving couples, the nature of our past attachments together with the stress of daily life, can erode intimacy and trust and expose insecurities, jealousy, defensiveness, anger, sexual difficulties, disappointment and pain. As your couples’ therapist, my goal is to create a safe space where you can each feel heard and learn to better understand your relationship dynamics so that together you can restore trust and create positive change.

As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), I work with couples using an integrative approach that honors the emotional, relational, and embodied dimensions of connection. I support partners in exploring both emotional and sexual intimacy in a respectful, shame-free way. Whether you’re facing communication struggles, mismatched desire, disconnection, or navigating changes in intimacy, our work focuses on understanding relational patterns, repairing ruptures, rebuilding trust, and strengthening closeness. Sessions draw from attachment-based therapy, trauma-informed care, nervous system awareness, and sex-positive frameworks—supporting couples in feeling more secure, connected, and aligned with one another.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Marriage is challenging -- relationships face numerous challenges. How do you resolve conflict? How do you communicate? How can you possibly get over betrayals? How do you forgive? Is it even possible? I suggest to couples as soon as communication begins to break down, anger can't be resolved, or you feel a 'detachment' from yourself or partner -- don't wait to seek professional help. Often, denying there's a problem and waiting too long makes it more difficult to heal.
