Dr. Thomas Ballas
Psychologist, PhD; PSYPACT
The relationship we share with our partner is one of the most significant and transformative connections in our lives. I’ve had the privilege of helping countless couples navigate the complexities of their relationships. With years of experience in diverse clinical settings, including private practice and hospital environments, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges couples face and the strategies needed to overcome them.
Whether addressing communication barriers, emotional disconnect, or breaches of trust, I use evidence-based approaches to guide partners toward greater understanding and connection. I specialize in creating a supportive space where couples can rebuild trust, foster intimacy, and develop the tools to thrive together.
Through my work, I’ve witnessed how couples therapy can transform relationships—helping partners heal, grow closer, and create a fulfilling and resilient bond. Together, we can navigate the challenges you face, allowing your relationship to flourish in new and meaningful ways.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
As a psychotherapist, I incorporate structural family therapy to work with couples by focusing on the underlying structures and dynamics within their relationship. This approach allows us to identify and address patterns that may be causing conflict or dissatisfaction. I help couples map out their current relational patterns, including boundaries and roles, and work together to reorganize these structures in a way that promotes healthier interactions. Through structured interventions, we explore how these dynamics impact their connection and communication. My goal is to empower couples to establish more effective and balanced ways of relating to one another, enhancing their overall relationship satisfaction and fostering a more supportive and cohesive partnership.

Pamela Brewer

Pre-marital counseling can help to create the strong foundation you both deserve. Once in a relationship, difficulties can be addressed and specific behavioral changes along with emotional growth can turn a problematic relationship into what you both deserve.
