Shay Malone

Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Couples often get stuck in common patterns with ineffective communication and misunderstanding. A relationship brings together two (or more) people from different backgrounds with different values and expectations and requires them to have mutual agreements. I work with couples to help them get on the same page and move forward or in some cases, move apart.

Relationships

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for relationship issues, including communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, recurring conflict, and difficulty maintaining healthy and fulfilling partnerships. Relationship challenges can affect emotional well-being, daily stress levels, family dynamics, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals or couples feeling stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected. Brad takes a holistic and collaborative approach to relationship counseling, helping clients identify and understand the emotional patterns, attachment styles, and past experiences that may be contributing to current relationship difficulties. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore both present-day challenges and underlying relational or trauma-related factors that may be influencing how partners connect, communicate, and respond to one another. As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing and healthier relationship functioning. Treatment focuses on improving communication, strengthening emotional awareness, reducing reactivity, and developing more secure and supportive relational patterns. Relationship difficulties are often influenced by deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, attachment wounds, family-of-origin dynamics, and individual personality differences. Brad’s approach helps clients understand these deeper influences while also focusing on practical, present-day changes that improve connection, trust, and emotional safety. Therapy is tailored to each individual or couple’s needs and is designed to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where both partners (when applicable) can feel heard and understood. The goal is to support meaningful, lasting change rather than temporary conflict resolution. Healing and growth in relationships are possible. With the right support, clients can rebuild trust, improve communication, and create healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling relationships.

Fairfax, Virginia therapist: Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D., psychologist
Relationships

Dr. Linda G. Ritchie, Ph.D.

Psychologist, Ph.D., LPC, LMFT, Certified Hypnotherapist
If your relationship feels stuck in the same arguments, distance, or misunderstandings, you’re not alone. You may find yourselves having the same fight over and over, feeling unheard, or growing apart despite wanting things to improve. Even when there’s love and commitment, it can feel frustrating and discouraging when you don’t know how to break the pattern. I help couples understand and change the interaction patterns that create conflict and disconnection. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with elements of the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Imago Therapy, and The Developmental Model for Couples, we identify the specific dynamics that keep you stuck. I also integrate tools such as clinical hypnosis, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT/tapping), NLP, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help reduce reactivity, improve communication, and create more meaningful emotional and physical connection. What’s often missing isn’t effort—most couples are trying, but without a clear structure, conversations tend to escalate or shut down. Without understanding the specific patterns driving conflict, it’s easy to keep repeating the same interactions and feeling further apart. The fact that you’re here suggests you want something different for your relationship. If you’re both willing to approach this in a new way, I can help you communicate more effectively, resolve conflict with less escalation, and rebuild the connection that brought you together in the first place.and sustain healthy relationships.

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.
