Relationships
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.

MN Couples & Family Therapy
Psychologist, Ph.D., L.P.
My specialty is in marriage and family therapy. I have been fortunate to be trained by some of the best professors and trainers in the field. I am trained in the Gottman Method including being a Bringing Baby Home educator, and 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work educator. Additionally, I have completed training in using Gottman Method in infidelity and PTSD. I have also completed certification training in Discernment Counseling through the Doherty Institute. I am trained in PREPARE/Enrich.
I work with couples throughout the entire relationship spectrum from premarital counseling, to established couples needing assistance, to parenting challenges and including divorce/uncoupling therapy if necessary. I am not marriage neutral and prefer to help couples create mutually satisfying relationships wherever possible. I have additional training and expertise in working with ADHD couples, understanding the unique issues commonly found in relationships where one or both partners has ADHD.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
My goal when working with couples is to validate each partner's experience, while identifying aspects of the couple's interactions with each other that contribute to conflict and relationship dissatisfaction. Once these elements are identified, we will work as a team to identify alternative ways of interacting that feel congruent and effective for each partner.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I love working with couples! In coupleship, I believe you need a large assortment of interventions to accomodate all the different personalities, but the one thing that remains consistent is 'Effective Communication.' LEARNING how to LISTEN, convey feelings, validate, and empathize. I use a combination of Imago, Emotional Focus Therapy, and some of the wonderful skills taught by the Gottmans.
