Camille Larsen
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LAC
There are two niche areas I specialize in with couples: shared loss/trauma - primarily reproductive, and couples with substance use disorder in one or both partners. If you and your partner need help navigating your relationship, in the areas named here or just with feeling like you've grown apart emotionally or sexually, I can help. I am trained in evidence-based methods to re-structure old patterns or to help you navigate big life challenges in ways that respect you each individually while bringing you closer as a couple.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Relationships can feel frustrating, exhausting, and lonely when you and your partner keep having the same fights, shutting down, or drifting further apart. Maybe you feel unheard, stuck in cycles of blame and defensiveness, or like roommates instead of partners. No matter how much you try to fix things, the same patterns keep repeating. When resentment builds and communication breaks down, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever change. Many couples struggle not because they don’t love each other, but because they never learned the tools to connect in a way that actually works. Traditional couples therapy can sometimes feel slow or unproductive, focusing on surface-level issues without addressing the deeper wounds driving disconnection.
That’s why I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a direct and results-driven approach that helps couples break toxic cycles and rebuild trust fast. Unlike traditional therapy, RLT gets to the root of the problem quickly, holding both partners accountable while teaching powerful skills for effective communication, conflict resolution, and deeper emotional connection. If your relationship needs an even more focused approach, I offer a 2-day Couples Communication Intensive, designed to help you transform your relationship in a single weekend. This immersive experience provides structured guidance, practical tools, and deep emotional repair so you don’t have to spend months in therapy waiting for change. You and your partner can learn how to truly hear each other, repair past wounds, and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship—starting now. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start reconnecting, let’s do the work together.

Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Cynthia can assist you in resolving relational trauma. Relational trauma refers to emotional injury that occurs within the context of a close relationship, such as childhood trauma, abusive relationships, neglect, or betrayal. This trauma can cause lasting impacts on one’s ability to form healthy attachments and establish trust in future relationships. The effects of relational trauma may include:
Difficulty trusting others or feeling emotionally safe in relationships.
Low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness.
Fear of abandonment or rejection.
Emotional dysregulation, including mood swings or difficulty coping with stress.

Online Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions -AZ, IL, OH
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC
Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of connection and also one of our greatest sources of pain. I help couples and individuals navigate communication breakdowns, emotional distance, conflict cycles, infidelity, and the stressors that come with major life transitions. Using evidence‑based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, we work to rebuild trust, strengthen emotional intimacy, and create healthier patterns of connection. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian‑based guidance to support healing, forgiveness, and values‑aligned decision‑making. Whether you’re repairing, rebuilding, or discerning your next steps, therapy offers a grounded space to move forward with clarity and compassion.

Dr. Florence Rosiello
Therapist, Ph.D.
Most of my work is with people who have difficulty in relationships, either feeling too emotionally isolated or too merged. My strength lies in helping people find a place where they can be in intimate relationships and not lose themselves. Loving is difficult - and feeling loved, is even harder.

Relationships are complex. We each bring our own hurts and hangups and often don't understand each other because of our trauma or attachment styles and lack of good communication. It can get better! I can help!

Phoenix's extreme summer heat and sprawling, car-dependent geography contribute to social isolation and depression, with many residents spending months in largely indoor environments with limited organic social contact. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the disconnection and loneliness that can accompany life in a place where many people lack long-established roots and community ties. Phoenix has a significant veteran population, and therapists specializing in military trauma, PTSD, and veteran family concerns are well represented. Banner Health and Dignity Health provide major institutional mental health resources, with a large private practice community serving Scottsdale, Tempe, and the East Valley.
