Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Relationship stress doesn't stay in the relationship — it follows you into your sleep, your work, and your sense of self. I work with individuals who are navigating relationship difficulties, communication breakdowns, or the emotional aftermath of conflict or disconnection. While I don't offer couples therapy, I help individuals understand their patterns in relationships, set clearer boundaries, and develop healthier ways of communicating. If relationship stress is also affecting your sleep or anxiety, we can address the full picture together.

Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
I recognize how central relationships are to one’s health and well-being. I also understand how painful it can be when we have difficulties establishing or maintaining relationships or when we have difficulties in a particular relationship. The ability to maintain harmonious personal connections is not necessarily easy. Because of its inherent difficulty, many people encounter high levels of relational stress and may even experience a complete cut off from others.
The good news is that even though developing meaningful and healthy relationships requires a specific set of skills, which can be learned. Those who can improve their style of communication can bring about profound improvement in the level of closeness, support and satisfaction in their relationships and consequently experience greater happiness in their lives.
I can work with you to provide the tools necessary to improve communication and establish more intimate connections. I begin by examining your patterns of interactions to determine what is causing or maintaining your interpersonal conflicts or leaving you feeling detached. Next, I will guide you through practices that will teach you how to improve your relationship style and connections with others.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I specialize in couples and relationship counseling and have worked with couples of all walks of life. We all know that relationships take some hard work sometimes to make sure we have a happy fullfilling relationship. Sometimes partners can resolve difficulties that arise on their own. But, sometimes, partners can get stuck in certain issues when regular resolution strategies they tend to use just are not working. Also, our lives are often in an ever changing state where new or different needs may come up for one or both partners. I work with couples, polycules, and all different structures of relationship and work from an integrative lens as every couple is unique and we may need to adjust the approach to help. I do however work a lot from Gottman therapy and also emotion focused therapy with my couples. Just a few more things... I'm poly-competent, trauma informed, kink affirming, and welcome all types of relationships.

Couples argue about many things, and it's normal to have disagreements. What you do at those times will determine whether your relationship will survive. Learning how to communicate effectively, from a position of love and respect, is my main focus when working with couples.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
As a relationship therapist, I firmly believe that close partnerships are where the most deep beautiful healing can occur AND a place where we can also get very, very hurt. I also believe strongly that so many relationships have the potential to thrive when given space, time, and a little little from a specialized professional. In my work with relationships, (both monogamous and non-monogamous), I work with clients to find their stuck spots - not just "that fight" that comes up all the time, but to the actual root cause of that fight in the first place (which is often not at all what we think it is). I guide folks through a series of education to help them understand the ways in which they are getting in their own way, followed by a series of interventions designed to help you grow in understanding of yourself and your partner(s) so that you can actually get past the blocks in your relationship, to place where you feel truly safe to be yourself. I have worked with couples/relationships that come to me for the "big things" like infidelity, life-altering decisions, and moving from monogamy to opening their relationship, as well as those who are in a good place and just looking to build better communication skills - all is welcome!
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for relationship issues, including communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, recurring conflict, and difficulty maintaining healthy and fulfilling partnerships. Relationship challenges can affect emotional well-being, daily stress levels, family dynamics, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals or couples feeling stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected.
Brad takes a holistic and collaborative approach to relationship counseling, helping clients identify and understand the emotional patterns, attachment styles, and past experiences that may be contributing to current relationship difficulties. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore both present-day challenges and underlying relational or trauma-related factors that may be influencing how partners connect, communicate, and respond to one another.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing and healthier relationship functioning. Treatment focuses on improving communication, strengthening emotional awareness, reducing reactivity, and developing more secure and supportive relational patterns.
Relationship difficulties are often influenced by deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, attachment wounds, family-of-origin dynamics, and individual personality differences. Brad’s approach helps clients understand these deeper influences while also focusing on practical, present-day changes that improve connection, trust, and emotional safety.
Therapy is tailored to each individual or couple’s needs and is designed to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where both partners (when applicable) can feel heard and understood. The goal is to support meaningful, lasting change rather than temporary conflict resolution.
Healing and growth in relationships are possible. With the right support, clients can rebuild trust, improve communication, and create healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling relationships.

In marital and relationship therapy, I provide a safe and structured environment for partners to explore these dynamics. We will collaboratively uncover the underlying needs and perspectives of each individual, fostering greater compassion and effective communication. The aim is to move beyond reactivity, build stronger bridges of understanding, and empower you to co-create a relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and shared growth.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
When conflict, emotional distance, or the “roommate phase” takes over, it can feel like the connection you once had is slipping away. In couples therapy, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy to identify the negative cycles keeping you stuck, uncover the underlying emotions and needs, and help you reach for each other in ways that rebuild safety, trust, and closeness—both emotionally and sexually. Whether you want to repair, deepen, or simply understand your patterns better, this is a collaborative space to create the kind of marriage or relationship that feels good again.
