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.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Do you and your partner keep having the same argument, even though you've discussed it countless times and understand each other's perspectives? Perhaps one of you pursues conversation while the other withdraws, small disagreements become major ruptures, or resentment and distance have gradually replaced the closeness you once felt. I help couples look beneath the surface of these recurring patterns to understand the emotions, needs, and protective reactions that keep both partners stuck. Alongside developing practical communication and repair skills, we work toward helping you map out the cycles that keep you stuck and creating new relationship dances that bring you the connection, playfulness, and intimacy you want.

Paul T. Haefner, PhD
Psychologist, PhD
We do our best living in relationships where we feel safe enough to be honest and connected enough to work things out. When that breaks down through conflict, distance, or old patterns neither of you meant to repeat it can feel lonely even side by side. I help partners understand what's really happening between them, interrupt the cycles that keep hurting, and rebuild trust, closeness, and the ability to face life as a team.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can bring deep comfort—and deep challenge. Many couples come to therapy feeling distant, misunderstood, or caught in repeating patterns that leave them both feeling frustrated and alone. In therapy, we’ll create space for each partner to be heard and understood. You’ll learn to recognize unproductive cycles, communicate more effectively, and respond to each other with honesty and care. Whether you’re rebuilding after years of strain, adjusting to life changes like empty nest or retirement, or simply wanting to reconnect, couples therapy can help you strengthen your relationship and rediscover a sense of partnership, respect, and closeness.

Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC, Clinical Supervisor
Whether you're preparing for marriage, rebuilding after betrayal, or simply feeling more like roommates than partners, relationships can find their way back to connection — and I'm here to help. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most well-researched couples therapy models available, to help partners identify the painful cycles pulling them apart and move toward the safety and closeness they're longing for. From premarital counseling to betrayal trauma, I believe most relationships have more resilience than they appear to in their hardest moments.

Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Relationships can become strained even when love is still present. You may find yourselves having the same arguments, feeling more like roommates than partners, struggling to rebuild trust, or wondering how two people who care deeply about each other became so disconnected.
I help couples move beyond cycles of blame, defensiveness, avoidance, and ineffective communication to better understand what is happening beneath the conflict. Our work focuses not only on how you communicate, but on how each partner shows up in the relationship: the patterns you bring, the needs you may struggle to express, and the ways you respond when you feel hurt, unheard, or disconnected.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and gently direct. I believe healthy relationships require both self awareness and shared responsibility. Rather than focusing only on compromise, we work toward collaboration: learning how to honor two individual experiences while building a relationship in which both partners can feel seen, valued, emotionally safe, and connected.
Whether you are navigating recurring conflict, trust concerns, infidelity, intimacy challenges, life transitions, or simply want to strengthen your connection, therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand one another differently, repair what has been hurt, and intentionally choose what comes next.

There really isn't any training growing up about how to create and be in a healthy relationship. We grow up observing how parents and caregivers interact in their relationships and internalize the patterns they exhibited. In relationship, we are sharing those internalized patterns and our partner is sharing theirs. We are a also projecting our wounds and painful memories onto our partner and defending against them. Couples therapy is about promoting healthy communication around each person's needs. In effect, the relationship is the client.

I do couples therapy, focused on identifying what has happened along the way to the couple, from initial attraction to their current life situation and conflicts. The aim is to help the couple clarify what each needs or wants to do, to increase intimacy and build a sustaining relationship. And, if that is not possible, how to part in a mutually respectful way.
