Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
I help couples move beyond patterns of conflict, distance, and disconnection to rebuild trust and create lasting intimacy. Drawing on evidence-based approaches, I guide partners in strengthening communication, repairing after breaches of trust, and navigating the complexities of desire and closeness.
Whether you are recovering from infidelity, struggling with intimacy challenges, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way together, therapy provides a space to understand each other more deeply and create healthier, more supportive ways of relating. My goal is to help you and your partner not just repair what feels broken, but build a relationship that feels resilient, connected, and fulfilling.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Relationships are where most of our pain lives — and most of our growth happens. I work with individuals examining their relational patterns and with couples navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, and the slow drift that can occur even in loving relationships. My approach is honest and direct. I'm not interested in keeping the peace at the expense of the truth. I'm interested in helping people understand themselves well enough to show up differently in the relationships that matter most to them — romantic, family, or otherwise.

I specialize in relationship and marriage counseling because I believe that cultivating healthy, secure bonds is the most impactful way to foster long-term mental wellness.

My focus is on providing a structured, neutral space where partners can identify the underlying patterns that cause frustration and replace them with actionable, evidence-based tools.

My training in Relational Life Therapy (RLT) focuses on exploring couple dynamics that keep relationships stuck. There are many reasons couples may be stuck in conflict cycles, avoiding addressing problems or generally feeling disconnected. Relationship work highlights ways to explore values, wants, needs and emotions to address relationship dynamics and create a more relationally healthy future.

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.
