Karina Baltazar-Durán LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I treat the couple and the family as a system. We are all interconnected and yet trying to find our space in said system. Family is at the root of who we are and sometimes those roots get tangled through generational patters or trauma leaving us to not be our best for ourselves or the other(s). Allow me to help you identity, sort through, and untangle those roots to get to who you really want to be.

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.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.

As a marriage and family therapist, my training is specialized for intimate, close relationships. I utilize faith principles when applicable to the client's belief system, and EFT (emotionally-focused therapy) for couples, which also has a companion book and workbooks. For an additional fee I can also have couples complete the Prepare-Enrich Couples Assessment, which helps couples navigate critical conversations on topics such as sexual intimacy, forgiveness, finances, raising children and relationship roles.

David Gumpert
Psychologist, PsyD
While I do not offer couples counseling, I do a lot of work with individuals around communication and boundaries. This includes being aware of your own needs and coming up with healthy ways to express your needs while also tracking the needs of others. Remember, boundaries are not there to harm others but are there to protect you.

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.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—people‑pleasing, conflict avoidance, repeating the same dynamics, or feeling unseen and alone even when partnered. As you grow more connected to your own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom, you can begin to create relationships that feel safer, more reciprocal, and deeply nourishing.

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.

Emily Echeverria
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, MS
I have training in emotionally focused therapy for families. I work with families who are struggling with disconnection due to difficulty communicating, understanding, appreciating, and accepting each other. I help these families by deepening their awareness of what is causing their own behavior within the family, learn to communicate more clearly and honestly, and practice hearing each other better so that families can become more connected through conflict rather than more isolated. I especially enjoy working with families navigating parent-adult child relationships.

I only see couples in my practice so you are getting a true relationship expert. Relationships are the core of our lives, yet even strong partnerships can hit breaking points. I help couples move beyond repeating arguments, resentment, or emotional distance to reconnect with one another. Whether you’re navigating cultural differences, parenting stress, intimacy struggles, or simply feeling like roommates, therapy offers a space to rebuild trust and closeness. My goal is to help you strengthen your bond, communicate more effectively, and create a resilient partnership that can withstand life’s challenges.
