Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
By the time they show up in my virtual office, many neurodiverse couples have had previous couple therapy experiences that did not go well, and are feeling increasingly stuck and hopeless about reconnecting in their relationship. If you are navigating ADHD, Autism, OCD, or other forms of neurodivergence in your relationship, you need an experienced couple therapist with a profound understanding of both the strengths and challenges of having brain-based differences, and how these differences can impact communication, energy management, nervous system activation, intimacy, and more. I would love to help you chart a different path for your neurodiverse relationship that allows you to interact with greater ease and connect more authentically.

Relationships & Couples Therapy: The Courage to Connect
Moving from Conflict Loops to Secure Attachment
Relationships are the primary "systems" we inhabit, and when they are in distress, every other part of our lives—our work, our health, and our parenting—feels the impact. With over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move beyond the surface-level "who said what" to address the deeper attachment needs that drive your conflict.
Deconstructing the "Cycle"
Most couples find themselves stuck in a "negative dance" where one partner pursues and the other withdraws. We work together to identify:
The Pursuit-Withdraw Loop: Understanding how your partner's shut down might be a survival strategy for overwhelm, and how your "pushing" might be a desperate bid for connection.
Rejection Sensitivity & Attachment Trauma: Addressing how past wounds and childhood attachments "show up" in your current arguments.
The Impact of External Systems: Using Systems Theory to explore how social constructs of power, gender roles, and even spiritual expectations influence your dynamic.
A Specialized Clinical Framework
I offer a sophisticated, research-backed path to relational repair:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Considered the "gold standard" for couples, EFT helps you de-escalate conflict and create a "secure base" where you both feel seen, safe, and valued.
Discernment Counseling: For couples on the brink of divorce or separation who aren't sure if they want to repair or uncouple. I provide a structured, neutral space to gain clarity.
Intensive Repair for High-Conflict: Integrating EMDR to process individual traumas that are leaking into the relationship and fueling chronic volatility or burnout.
For the "Professional" Couple
I have a "special love" for working with healers, pastors, and therapists in relationship. I understand the unique burden of maintaining a "public image" of a healthy marriage while struggling in private. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" roles and focus on the raw, human work of loving one another.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach relationship and marriage counseling with a holistic and faith-centered perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide couples toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Recognizing the significance of marriage in Christian teachings, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their challenges, fostering communication and understanding. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I integrate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on marital virtues into the therapeutic process. I collaborate with couples to address specific issues, offering evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual guidance to navigate conflicts and promote relational growth. This integrated approach seeks to strengthen the marital bond, help couples align their actions with their Christian values, and foster a deeper connection that withstands the challenges of life within the context of their faith.

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. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most couples arrive in therapy having the same argument they have been having for years, each convinced the other refuses to understand. They are usually both right. The impasse is not a failure of communication. It is the place where two differently organized selves meet and cannot find each other. The work is not about compromise or learning to fight fairly. It is about each person becoming visible to the other in a way that the relationship, up to now, has not been able to hold.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Relationships are often where our deepest patterns show up—how we communicate, how we handle conflict, how we give and receive care, and how we navigate closeness and space. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in repeated arguments, trying to rebuild trust, or wanting to strengthen an already solid relationship, it can be hard to step outside of the patterns you’re in. Add in cultural expectations about what relationships “should” look like, and it can get even harder to figure out what actually works for you.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships. We work with you (and your partner[s], if applicable) to understand the dynamics at play and actively build more effective ways of communicating, repairing, and connecting. This includes identifying patterns, strengthening emotional awareness, and creating structures that support the relationship you actually want—not just what’s been modeled or expected. We also offer pre-marital and pre–long-term commitment counseling, helping you have the conversations that matter before taking that next step.
We are explicitly affirming of diverse relationship structures, including non-monogamy and polyamory, and we are kink-affirming in our work. We understand these are not interchangeable, and we approach each with respect, clarity, and without pathologizing. This is collaborative, honest work focused on helping your relationship feel more intentional, more connected, and more aligned with your values.

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.
