Relationship and Marriage Counseling therapists in Southside, Alabama AL
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.

Caring enough about our intimate relationships requires that we tend to the needs of ourselves and important others so that we may grow in our connections.
Julie Novak
Psychologist, PsyD
Relationships are hard. When we're struggling in our relationships, feelings of sadness, anger, anxiety, resentment and hopelessness can all be present. Together we will address the concerns in your relationship and find ways to bring hope back to this vital part of your life.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Dr. Desiree S. Howell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Exploring strengths and challenges using the PREPARE/ENRICH program with premarital couples can illuminate areas to celebrate and ones to nurture. Happy couples looking to improve their connection, communication style, affection, sex life, pleasure, joy, and emotional safety can also benefit greatly from counseling. I am poly, kink, ENM, and LGBTQ+ affirming.
