Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
My goal when working with couples is to validate each partner's experience, while identifying aspects of the couple's interactions with each other that contribute to conflict and relationship dissatisfaction. Once these elements are identified, we will work as a team to identify alternative ways of interacting that feel congruent and effective for each partner.

Rachel J Fischer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It can be hard to manage feelings that come up towards your partner, and you may find yourself feeling alone and unable to talk to others about your concerns. You may notice that you are attracted to similar types of partners, or that you have similar feelings/behaviors in relationships. Using an insight-oriented ("psychodynamic") and relational approach to therapy, I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts/feelings/experiences, and to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so that you can embrace a more fulfilling life. Please note that I only meet one-on-one with individuals to talk about their relationship issues, and don't do couples therapy.

When it comes to relationships, there’s more than one side to the story. Therapists experienced in working with couples know the struggles that go on behind closed doors. Whether it’s communication problems, sexual issues, infidelity, or something else, you can bet we have a therapist who can help. Looking for pre-marital counseling or just want to make sure you stay as happy as you are now? We can do that too.

Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
I have a passion for relationship and marriage counseling. My approach to therapy is to view the relationship as the client. I believe if you can improve the communication and behavioral skills of each partner you can improve the relationship. The overall goal is to improve your presenting concerns but also accentuate the positives of your relationship as well.

Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Relationship and marriage counseling is not just for couples in crisis — it is for any two people who want to communicate better, reconnect more deeply, and build a stronger foundation before small problems become significant ones. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with couples navigating communication breakdown, emotional disconnection, trust issues, conflict resolution, intimacy challenges, and marriage counseling after infidelity. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and evidence-based couples therapy techniques, I help partners break reactive cycles and rebuild the relationship they actually want. Telehealth couples therapy available across 40+ states.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Disconnection, tension, and repeated arguments can leave you wondering if real change is possible. You may long to feel heard by your partner without conversations turning into conflict. As an experienced couples therapist, I create a safe, supportive space where both of you can express yourselves, learn to communicate more effectively, and begin to rebuild trust and connection. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic principles, I help couples explore underlying emotional patterns and create lasting, meaningful change in their relationship.

Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR.

Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Relationships can be both fulfilling and challenging. I help couples and individuals improve communication, rebuild trust, and navigate conflict in a way that strengthens connection rather than erodes it. Using a collaborative, emotionally-focused approach, we’ll work to identify patterns, deepen understanding, and foster healthier, more resilient partnerships. Whether you're facing a specific issue or looking to reconnect, therapy offers a space for growth and renewal.

Jason Holland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When a relationship is strained, it is easy to get pulled into the same arguments and disconnections. We will slow the cycle down and get clear about what is happening beneath the surface. I help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and improve emotional connection with practical steps that fit your relationship and your goals.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Relationships are some of the most rewarding parts of life—but they can also bring stress, frustration, and conflict. I specialize in helping couples and partners navigate challenges such as communication difficulties, trust issues, emotional disconnection, infidelity, and differing values or expectations.
In therapy, couples gain a safe, structured space to explore underlying dynamics, improve understanding, and develop skills for healthy communication and problem-solving. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, helping partners identify negative interaction patterns, manage emotional reactivity, and create new ways of relating that foster connection, empathy, and mutual respect.
Whether you are looking to repair a struggling relationship, navigate major life transitions together, or strengthen an already healthy partnership, therapy focuses on both insight and action—teaching practical strategies that partners can implement in daily life. I also support blended families, co-parenting couples, and couples navigating significant stressors such as relocation, career changes, or family illness.
My goal is to help couples build resilience, deepen intimacy, and create a relationship foundation that is not only functional but also fulfilling.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Relationship counseling is a significant part my practice but in a unique way. I often work with one partner as the other either doesn't believe THEY have a problem or simply refuse to participate in relationship counseling. Based in part on my training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with many years of experience, I am often able to improve the relationship by working with the "willing partner". Sometimes this involves working on improving communication skills and or assertiveness. Other times, it may involve teaching behavior modification such as using social or tangible ways that improve receptiveness and cooperation over time. In other situations, it can involve helping client recognize how they may be inadvertently contributing to the kind of behavior they don't like. Almost always it involves a degree of helping the client accept the things they can't change and modify their own beliefs and self talk. My motto is "we do more than listen". Teaching clients new attitudes and strategies to improve their relationships is a very gratifying part of my work with clients.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S, CST
Relationship and marriage counseling helps couples understand patterns that lead to conflict, distance, or emotional disconnection. Many couples seek therapy when conversations feel unproductive, trust has been strained, or intimacy has declined.
Our work focuses on communication, emotional awareness, commitment, and shared responsibility. Therapy helps couples slow down reactive cycles, understand each other more clearly, and develop tools that support healthier, more intentional interactions both inside and outside of session.
