Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling disconnected, or unsure how you got so far from the closeness you once had. Many couples I work with struggle with communication breakdowns, unmet emotional needs, issues with intimacy, or feeling like they're constantly missing each other. In our work together, we slow things down to understand the patterns beneath the conflict, not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening. From there we begin rebuilding connection, trust, and a deeper sense of partnership.

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.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual issues can cause profound problems for both parties in a relationship. This is particularly true if there has been a discovery of secrets or betrayal. There are 3 recoveries in these cases: his, hers and the coupleship.
The issues of trust, betrayal, lying, gaslighting etc. need to be faced to be repaired. I help couples with communication skills as well as methods of dealing with trauma and its aftermath. Trust and intimacy can be restored over time.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Couples counseling is a powerful way to work! I incorporate my 25 years of experience in the field, along with mindfulness, Hakomi, and the work of Stan Tatkin (PACT - the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) to form a safe, compassionate, and transformative space for you and your partner. My work with couples is potent, with sessions usually lasting two hours. As a result, the overall number of sessions is fewer than with traditional couples therapy.

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

Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Your relationship doesn't need to be on the verge of collapse to benefit from some extra help & attention. Every single relationship--no matter how "healthy" it seems--comes with its challenges, and many of us aren't taught how to navigate them.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Relationships can bring immense joy, and also activate our deepest wounds. You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, navigating trust after betrayal, struggling with mismatched needs, exploring non-monogamy, or simply feeling disconnected.
My approach to couples work is collaborative and relational. We slow down patterns rather than blame each other. Together, we’ll examine communication dynamics, attachment styles, boundaries, intimacy, sexual connection, and shared meaning. I work affirmatively with LGBTQ+ couples and diverse relationship structures, honoring that there is no single “right” way to love- only what feels aligned and mutually respectful for you.
Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or redefining your partnership, therapy can help you move from reactivity toward intentional connection.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationship difficulties can create feelings of disconnection, resentment, loneliness, conflict, mistrust, or emotional exhaustion even in relationships where both people care deeply for one another. Couples often struggle with communication problems, recurring arguments, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, unresolved hurt, differing expectations, or difficulty navigating life stress together.
I provide couples and relationship therapy aimed at helping partners better understand the patterns contributing to conflict and disconnection while strengthening communication, emotional attunement, trust, and relational stability. My approach is collaborative, emotionally focused, and tailored to the unique dynamics of each relationship with the goal of helping couples build healthier, more secure, and more fulfilling connections.

Be Authentic Family Therapy Services, Inc. Michele Putini, Director
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
We all have challenges in our relationships and sometimes need guidance and support to navigate the compromises we need or make the changes that may need to happen. We can help navigate these challenges by using skills building to learn effective communication skills along with facilitating conversation about emotional needs and process feeling of being unseen and feeling unheard in the relationship. We can't change what we don't know and participating in therapy can improve relationships and create healthy boundaries for individuals so that healthy relationships are possible.
