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.

Nicole Walton
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, MSW, LISW-S
Relationships can be difficult at any time. But when conflict occurs, or major life events happen, relationships can become particularly difficult or even impossible to manage. I will provide a nonjudgmental, impartial, warm, and collaborative environment to help you resolve conflict, establish more effective communication strategies and work through other issues that may need to be addressed. Together we will build on your individual strengths and your strengths as a couple, while focusing on improving every area of your relationship.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships are central to knowing who we are and thus have an enormous impact on our mental health. We often downplay to ourselves that frequent or underlying problems in our relationships are "enough" to feel anxious, sad, or angry about. As a result we often misplace the source of distress solely upon personal failings. Much of my work focuses on helping you clarify what you want and need relationally, working out what is making it hard to communicate those wants and needs, and empowering you to try some new things with your loved ones.

Repeated arguments, slow drift, communication that turns into a courtroom... relationship pain is deeply personal. Kelley sees individuals, couples, and families and helps you understand the patterns, repair the ruptures, and ask for what you actually need. Expect honest, non-judgmental conversations, practical communication tools, and a neutral, supportive third presence in the room while you figure out what you want this relationship to become.

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.

Sara E Roth
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., IMFT-S, LPCC, EMDR Certified Therapist, EFT Trained Therapist
Oftentimes, couples expect that when they fall in love, they will sail off into the sunset. Sadly, that expectation will create significant difficult emotions when there are bumps in the road that they find they can’t navigate. Expectations breed disappointment and resentment.
The reality is that all relationships take work. The best of relationships need to be nurtured. Relationships that aren’t prioritized end up on the back burner, and then couples drift apart. When couples feel disconnected, often times either tensions escalate and hurt feelings create damage, or in some cases, infidelity.
Does any of this sound familiar?
So much can be done to repair a relationship. Your relationship and your happiness is worth it. Think of it as an investment in yourself, in your future, in your relationship.
Couples therapy will include discussing your goals and understanding the issues from both partners as they see it from their perspective. Skills related to understanding each other’s perspective, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills is a priority. We will explore your communication skills, your conflict styles and conflict cycles to understand patterns, including using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to address thought patterns that trigger and escalate conflicts and hurt feelings.
You can reconnect with your partner and emerge with a stronger relationship.

Cynthia can assist you in resolving relational trauma. Relational trauma refers to emotional injury that occurs within the context of a close relationship, such as childhood trauma, abusive relationships, neglect, or betrayal. This trauma can cause lasting impacts on one’s ability to form healthy attachments and establish trust in future relationships. The effects of relational trauma may include:
Difficulty trusting others or feeling emotionally safe in relationships.
Low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness.
Fear of abandonment or rejection.
Emotional dysregulation, including mood swings or difficulty coping with stress.

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.

Amy L Gould
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC-S, NCC, CCMHC
Hello and welcome to my private practice. Video sessions are a convenient way to do therapy from your own confidential private space. I provide counseling services via Telehealth for adult individuals. My home state is Ohio and I am only contracted in Ohio to provide any Medicaid services though I am accepting other insurances as out-of-network. I am able to accept Medicare in the states where I am licensed as I am an in-network Medicare provider. If you are seeking an assessment for disability or some other purpose, I would not be able to accept your insurance for Telehealth sessions for that purpose, just for counseling and therapy. Your video sessions deserve the same level of privacy and importance as an in-person session and most people get the most out of sessions when they give them full attention. I prefer in-person sessions since they offer the highest level of confidentiality and conveyance of non-verbal communication, but the convenience of video sessions can make them very worthwhile. Whether you want a combination of in-person and Telehealth, in-person only, or only Telehealth, I may be able to accommodate you. Please note that when you utilize insurance, medical necessity and a mental health diagnosis must be established to bill insurance. I do offer private pay services for people who do not have or want to use insurance.
