Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Even when I treat individuals, so often we end up doing a form of relationship counseling, because we ARE our relationships. The people in our life affect us, and learning how to set boundaries and communicate differently is always a part of my treatment. Of course, this is easier when I get to work with both members of a couple (or family), in that I can then "hear both sides of the story." I am able to "speak" both male and female languages, so I find I can aid in translating and getting everyone to feel heard. (As a male therapist, this defuses some of the hesitation many male partners have about approaching therapy).

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.

Christina Song
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-S
I provide relationship and marriage counseling from a trauma-informed, systemic, and strengths-based perspective. I work with couples and partners to improve communication, navigate conflict, and deepen connection, while honoring each person’s individuality and life context. Therapy is a collaborative space to explore patterns, build relational skills, and strengthen trust and intimacy.
I have experience supporting traditional, queer, and ethically non-monogamous relationships, recognizing that each relationship has its own structure, needs, and challenges. Our work may focus on boundaries, negotiation, attachment dynamics, healing from relational trauma, and fostering shared meaning. My goal is to help partners develop healthier ways of relating—ones that feel authentic, equitable, and resilient—while respecting each person’s autonomy and capacity for growth.

Dr. John VanderKaay & The Center for Mighty Marriages & Families
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, LMFT, BCPCC, BCPC
Marriage is the highest human relationship. It is arguably the hardest one to do well. We are intended to learn how to be married well by watching our dad and mom be married well. If we didn't see that, we must learn somewhere else.
I help couples build trust, have effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and get and stay emotionally attuned and connected to each other, regardless of what life throws at them.

Brownsville is one of the southernmost cities in the United States and sits directly on the US-Mexico border — sharing the border with Matamoros, Tamaulipas — with a population that is over 90% Hispanic and where Spanish is the dominant language of daily life, making bilingual, bicultural therapy not a specialty but the baseline expectation for meaningful access to care. The city's poverty rate is among the highest in the United States, and therapists here frequently address the compounding effects of economic stress, immigration-related family separation, and the chronic anxiety of border community life. Valley Baptist Medical Center and the UT Health RGV system provide institutional mental health resources for the Rio Grande Valley region. The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley's psychology and counseling programs supply clinical training to a region that remains significantly underserved relative to its mental health needs.
