Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
At Philadelphia Couples Therapy we provide in-depth relationship therapy where we hope you’ll begin to understand yourself and your relationship in rejuvenative ways. It is our hope that you find new and long-lost avenues of connection with your partner after so long of feeling misunderstood, blamed, hurt, or alone. We can help you communicate, to understand one another, to feel known again.
Therapy with our clinicians will hopefully help the burden within your relationship begin to lift and the fog between you start to clear. Life together might feel lighter and more joyful while promising a brighter future.
Although we are hopeless romantics and always want to see the potential in your relationship, we are also well-equipped to walk you through the end of your partnership; our support can help you develop insight and strength for your next relationships. We have seen a wide array of partnerships and feel deeply humbled and honored to walk with you on your partnership journey, whatever it may be.

We are born in relationships, wounded in relationships, and also healed in relationships. Patterns are most often the problem, not people. I help clients identify their wounds and adaptations from a place of self compassion that supports change and promotes healing.

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.

Shareece Cannonier
Psychologist, PsyD
Are you feeling overwhelmed and emotional on the inside? You work hard to create the life you want, but you feel like it might fall apart at any moment. Do others view you as the strong friend or family member who saves the day, but there is rarely anyone who consistently shows up for you? You wonder if you’re a people pleaser, too hard on yourself, and why others don’t respect your boundaries. Is there past trauma that could be affecting your current relationships that you need to process? Unmanaged anxiety, depression, or unhealed trauma can leave you feeling dissatisfied with life.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Most couples don’t come to therapy because they’re broken — they come because something vital between them has gone quiet, sharp, or out of reach. Maybe you keep having the same argument that never resolves. Maybe there’s distance, resentment, or rupture. Maybe you love each other, but you’ve forgotten how to reach one another.
I help couples slow down the cycle, so we can hear what’s actually being said underneath the defensiveness, silence, or blame. My work is rooted in emotional attunement, honest communication, and the belief that conflict, when held skillfully, can become a doorway to deeper intimacy.
This is not about who’s right. It’s about what’s real — and how each of you learned to protect yourselves in ways that now get in the way of closeness. Together, we practice new ways of relating that create safety, connection, and clarity — even in the hard moments.
Whether you're rebuilding trust, navigating a major transition, or simply wanting to feel close again, this is a place where your relationship can breathe, grow, and be truly seen.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide couples therapy to partners who want to deepen their relationship and overcome challenges. In some cases, an event has shaken the relationship; in others, couples want to work on making their bond the best it can be. Marriage counseling can make a huge difference, whether there are significant issues or just a feeling that things could be (or have been) better. Marriage counseling and relationship therapy often shows relatively fast results.

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.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Communication difficulties are often at the center of relational conflict; partners and family members may feel missed, disconnected, unheard, and misunderstood. Couples sessions are geared toward reworking the communication and interaction patterns that may have become ingrained in your partnership or family unit - to assist in rebuilding trust, connection, and cohesion. Learning about ourselves, the ways we show up in our relationships, and our response tendencies can shed important light on these patterns, the relational needs that are unmet within them, and ways to step outside of them. One of the most important first steps in our work together is to begin seeing these overarching patterns as the reasons for pain, rather than treating the pain as being the fault of an individual partner or family member.

Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Intimate partnerships can become strained by chronic conflict, emotional distance, or breaches of trust. Utilizing evidence-based systemic frameworks, including the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples decode destructive communication loops and negative behavioral cycles. Our work focuses on resolving deeply rooted conflicts, rebuilding a secure emotional attachment foundation, and establishing practical collaborative strategies to foster mutual respect and long-term relational resilience.

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.

What defines us more than our relationships? Nothing enriches our lives more than the people in them - and conversely, nothing can bring emotional pain quite like dysfunctional relationships. I am privileged to walk with my clients and help them navigate this most precious resource.

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in relationship and marriage counseling to help partners identify unhelpful patterns in thinking, communication, and behavior that contribute to conflict or disconnection. Therapy focuses on improving communication, increasing emotional understanding, and developing practical skills for problem-solving, trust-building, and mutual support. The work is collaborative and structured, helping couples create healthier, more intentional relationships.

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 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.

Meredith Luttrell
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
Whether you're preparing for marriage, rebuilding after betrayal, or simply feeling more like roommates than partners, relationships can find their way back to connection — and I'm here to help. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most well-researched couples therapy models available, to help partners identify the painful cycles pulling them apart and move toward the safety and closeness they're longing for. From premarital counseling to betrayal trauma, I believe most relationships have more resilience than they appear to in their hardest moments.
