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.

Dr. Mike Lee
Psychologist
I help couples strengthen their relationship by understanding the patterns that shape their interactions. The work is depth-informed and collaborative: we slow the process, surface unspoken needs and stuck cycles, and practice clearer ways of speaking, listening, and repairing. The aim is durable change—less escalation, more choice and trust, and a relationship that feels steadier and more alive.

Chad T. Allen
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LPCC
I am a psychoanalyst in private practice in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, where I work with adults and couples seeking to better understand recurring patterns in their relationships. Many couples find themselves returning to the same conflicts or feeling increasingly distant despite efforts to communicate differently.
My work is grounded in the belief that relational difficulties often arise from emotional expectations and patterns that develop over time and operate outside of awareness. Couples therapy provides a space to slow down these interactions and explore the emotional meanings shaping each partner’s experience. Through greater understanding, couples can begin to relate to one another in ways that feel less reactive and more connected.
This work draws on psychoanalytic and psychodynamic principles that emphasize reflection, curiosity, and attention to emotional experience as it unfolds within the relationship.

Margaret Light
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CST
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I've been working with couples since my first day on the job. I know how a good relationship can strengthen us when times are tough whereas a strained relationship can make every day life so much more difficult. Clients find me when they're ready to be done fighting, feeling emotionally distant, & having less than ideal sex. If you feel torn between staying & leaving, are trapped in patterns of pursuit & withdrawal, or are tired of conflict that spirals out of control, I'm here to help.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Relationships can feel frustrating, exhausting, and lonely when you and your partner keep having the same fights, shutting down, or drifting further apart. Maybe you feel unheard, stuck in cycles of blame and defensiveness, or like roommates instead of partners. No matter how much you try to fix things, the same patterns keep repeating. When resentment builds and communication breaks down, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever change. Many couples struggle not because they don’t love each other, but because they never learned the tools to connect in a way that actually works. Traditional couples therapy can sometimes feel slow or unproductive, focusing on surface-level issues without addressing the deeper wounds driving disconnection.
That’s why I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a direct and results-driven approach that helps couples break toxic cycles and rebuild trust fast. Unlike traditional therapy, RLT gets to the root of the problem quickly, holding both partners accountable while teaching powerful skills for effective communication, conflict resolution, and deeper emotional connection. If your relationship needs an even more focused approach, I offer a 2-day Couples Communication Intensive, designed to help you transform your relationship in a single weekend. This immersive experience provides structured guidance, practical tools, and deep emotional repair so you don’t have to spend months in therapy waiting for change. You and your partner can learn how to truly hear each other, repair past wounds, and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship—starting now. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start reconnecting, let’s do the work together.

Mike Kosim
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
If you're looking for a better way of relating, either through couples work or individually, I can help. If you and your spouse /partner are looking back and seeing a repeating cycle of negativity, I help with Emotionally Focused Counseling for couples (EFT-c). If there's been infidelity and I can help with Affair Recovery - a specific process prior to the start of couples or marriage counseling. If you are at the brink of your relationship, I can help them with discernment counseling. Discernment helps couples clarify if they want to go one of three directions: keep everything the same, amicably break up, or dedicating the next 6 months to working on the relationship through couples or marriage counseling. DIscernment really strives to just help that clarity.
If you are an individual who wants to do your relationship differently, but either are in between relationships, or have an unwilling spouse or partner, I help in the following ways:
1. Really understand the root cause of the conflict or growing apart in the relationship.
2. Possibly do trauma work around those root causes using EMDR, Guided meditation, and family of origin work.
3. Understand how to communicate what you understand about your partner's or spouse's experience that may be helpful in healing.
4. Invite your partner into couples counseling.

At Rising Calm Center, we believe every couple can learn to love more deeply—with honesty, empathy, and grace. Our Christian counselors help you heal from the past, understand the present, and build a future marked by peace, purpose, and partnership.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend faith-based wisdom with proven relationship methods—Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), family systems work, and communication coaching—to help you:
• Rebuild trust after conflict or betrayal
• Communicate clearly without criticism or withdrawal
• Heal old wounds that fuel anger, shame, or fear
• Strengthen friendship, intimacy, and shared spiritual connection
• Experience genuine joy and unity that lasts
Every conversation is grounded in empathy and truth. We help you slow down, listen well, and rediscover each other through the lens of grace.
Whether you’re newly married or years into a challenging season, there is hope. You can restore what’s been lost and create something stronger than before.
At Rising Calm Center, we help couples reconnect with purpose, love with courage, and grow together in Christ-centered peace.

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!
