Cindy Yu

As a marriage and family therapist, I am well-trained and experienced in finding commonalities and resolutions between couples. My goal is to help couples understand the misunderstood, speak the unspoken, improve communication, and discover hope from hopelessness.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Relationships are special and take considerable work. It doesn't matter if you are seeking a therapist to help you early in your relationship before "stuff happens" or are trying to back up and address longer standing patterns, I can help you be a strong "Us". When working with relationships we are going to talk about ways to make you a team and help you improve the ways you talk with each other to increase your understanding. The Gottman's talk about "Masters" and "Disasters" - I can help you be the former.

Alena Porter
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, NCC
I use the four (or more) session model for relationship counseling. For the first session I meet with all the partners to establish what issues brought them to counseling. Then in the second and third (or more) sessions I meet with each partner individually so that they can say things to me that they don't want to say in front of their partner(s) and then for the fourth session I meet with all the partners together to review what I have learned and lay out my proposed treatment moving forward. I have found this method to be very effective, especially when compared to strictly relationship sessions.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
One of my very favorite therapies is couples therapy. I so enjoy helping couple restore their love and relationship. I work with the couple (first) and with each individual when engaged couples work. I help each partner rediscover or get to know themselves and help them resolve pains from the past that may be negatively impacting their relationship. If either partner has suffered physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; neglect; has been a crime victim, or a victim of tragedy or natural disaster, I will help them resolve the impacts on their relationships. Work with the couple often includes work on communication, compatibility, having fun and dates, social time with others, kindnesses and responsiveness to one’s partner, level of engagement in the relationship, dependability, honesty, affection, sexual intimacy, children, finances, and in-laws. Also, any problems in the relationship are addressed including: drug/alcohol abuse, addictions of any kind (I.e. internet, sex, shopping, gambling), domestic violence (physical, sexual, or emotional), or other challenging behaviors.

Kathryn Ziemer
Psychologist, PhD
Every relationship has its challenges. Sometimes it takes an outside person to help you and your partner work through these challenges in an empathic and objective way. I use techniques that have been proven to work. Together, we will create a trusting and safe environment where you and your partner can talk openly about the issues that divide you. I don’t take sides or place blame. Instead, I work to understand each of you as individuals and as a couple. Our work will focus on building better communication skills, having more positive experiences as a couple, and coping more effectively with challenges. Together, you and your partner can build a stronger relationship.
