Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 43 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.

The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Healthy relationships don’t happen by accident—they are built through understanding, communication, and mutual respect. In couples and marriage counseling, I use an Adlerian approach to help partners move away from blame and disconnection toward encouragement, teamwork, and emotional closeness. Together, we explore patterns that create conflict while strengthening the skills needed for trust, intimacy, and cooperation. My goal is to help couples reconnect, repair ruptures, and create a more supportive and meaningful partnership that can grow over time.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You keep having the same fight with different words. Or you've stopped fighting altogether, not because things are better but because you've stopped trying. The distance between you has grown so gradually you're not sure when it started, only that it's there now, undeniable. Our clinicians are trained in the Gottman Method, the most researched approach to couples therapy available. We help you identify the patterns that are eroding your connection and give you real tools to repair them. This isn't about venting at each other with a referee in the room. It's about learning to turn toward each other again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.

Good Human Work
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPC, CSAC
Being in a relationship is one of the hardest things we do. It's normal to have struggles, argue, and even fall "out of love". Recapturing the love you once had takes effort and intentionality. Over the years, we've helped many couples reconnect, repair hurts, and make it better than ever!

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
In relationship and marriage coaching, I help couples discover that emotions—even the difficult ones—can become pathways to connection rather than threats to the relationship. Conflict often escalates when partners feel attacked, misunderstood, or alone. When we slow down and learn to listen differently, the same moments that once created distance can become opportunities for understanding and repair.
Our work focuses on reducing reactive cycles and building practical communication skills: validating your partner’s experience even when you don’t agree, assuming positive intent, and speaking from feelings and needs rather than blame. You’ll learn how to describe the situation that triggered the emotion without making your partner the problem, and how to make clear, respectful requests for what would help. The goal is emotional safety, mutual respect, and a relationship that can hold the full range of human emotion with greater clarity and care.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
You don’t have to be in couples therapy to work on your relationship. Many people come to individual therapy to better understand patterns that show up with partners—communication struggles, conflict cycles, attachment dynamics, or questions about staying or leaving. Together, we’ll explore your experience of the relationship, including what feels stuck or unsatisfying, and look at how your history, expectations, and emotional responses shape these dynamics. The goal isn’t to assign blame, but to develop greater clarity, flexibility, and agency in how you relate—so you can make more intentional choices about your relationship and your role within it.
