Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Relationships and marriage can bring deep connection as well as moments of conflict, disconnection, and unmet needs. Patterns that develop over time can be hard to shift without support. Together, we explore these dynamics, improve communication, and work toward a more secure, balanced, and fulfilling way of relating to one another.

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.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Couples often get stuck in patterns shaped by power dynamics, communication habits, or unspoken expectations. I work with partners to explore these dynamics, improve understanding and emotional connection, and develop practical skills for conflict resolution, communication, and fair division of labor. My approach emphasizes accountability, mutual growth, and building a partnership that reflects both partners’ needs and values.

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.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships are central to knowing who we are and thus have an enormous impact on our mental health. We often downplay to ourselves that frequent or underlying problems in our relationships are "enough" to feel anxious, sad, or angry about. As a result we often misplace the source of distress solely upon personal failings. Much of my work focuses on helping you clarify what you want and need relationally, working out what is making it hard to communicate those wants and needs, and empowering you to try some new things with your loved ones.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
My specialty is in marriage and family therapy. I have been fortunate to be trained by some of the best professors and trainers in the field. I am trained in the Gottman Method including being a Bringing Baby Home educator, and 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work educator. Additionally, I have completed training in using Gottman Method in infidelity and PTSD. I have also completed certification training in Discernment Counseling through the Doherty Institute. I am trained in PREPARE/Enrich.
I work with couples throughout the entire relationship spectrum from premarital counseling, to established couples needing assistance, to parenting challenges and including divorce/uncoupling therapy if necessary. I am not marriage neutral and prefer to help couples create mutually satisfying relationships wherever possible. I have additional training and expertise in working with ADHD couples, understanding the unique issues commonly found in relationships where one or both partners has ADHD.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CGP
Highly focused on both the individual in the marriage and the unit as a separate entity. Direct, open and honest communication is used as a mirror for healthy yet honorable communication between all parties involved. I look at the CORE issues in the relationship struggle which supercedes ineffective communication skills.

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.

Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with estranged families and have done this work for over 25 years, long before “estrangement” became a common term. I support adult children and parents who are navigating separation, cutoff, long‑standing disconnection, or early attempts at reconnection. Many families come to me unsure what is possible, what they want, or how to move forward without repeating old patterns or causing further harm. The families I work with are often thoughtful and self‑aware, but feel unsure how to apply that insight to such a painful, layered situation.
My approach draws on family systems therapy and is rooted in trauma‑informed care, relational repair, and deep respect for the complexity of family history. Sessions often explore what led to the estrangement, what may or may not be repairable, and what each person needs in order to feel emotionally safe. We look closely at communication patterns, boundaries, intergenerational trauma, and the roles each person has carried over time. When reconnection is desired, we move in careful, stepwise ways that are tolerable and sustainable for everyone involved.
I meet with adult children and parents, as well as estranged adult siblings who wish to participate together. This service is offered online for adults in PSYPACT states, including families who live in different states and want to meet together in a format that is emotionally safer and more feasible. My role is to offer structure, clarity, and close attention so the work does not move faster than anyone is ready for or stay stuck when more is possible.

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.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with individuals and couples who are navigating patterns of disconnection, miscommunication, and imbalance within their relationships.
Many of the challenges that show up in relationships—such as conflict, resentment, or feeling unheard—are rooted in deeper patterns like over-functioning, difficulty setting boundaries, or unclear expectations.
In our work together, we focus on improving communication, increasing awareness of relational dynamics (most of which are learned early in our lives!), and developing practical tools to create healthier, more balanced interactions.
For couples, this means learning how to move out of reactive cycles and into more intentional, collaborative ways of relating. This means you learn how to better communicate and resolve conflict when it occurs.
