Even the strongest relationships can experience disconnection sometimes. I help couples who are committed to caring for one another, but who need extra help addressing communication issues and emotional connection. I will work with you to find the patterns in your life that may be causing problems and then collaborate with you to find new options and restorative solutions. You don’t have to walk through this pain alone, and I’d be honored to support you as you move toward healing. Visit my website or fill out the contact form to schedule a free phone consultation, and we can chat about what you’re looking for and whether I might be the right fit for you.

Patricia Fahmy
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPCC
Relationships can bring immense joy and connection, but they can also be a source of pain, conflict, and frustration. You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling emotionally disconnected, struggling with trust, or having difficulty communicating your needs effectively. I help individuals and couples understand the patterns driving these challenges, strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and create healthier, more secure relationships. Together, we work toward building greater understanding, trust, and connection while addressing the underlying issues that keep couples feeling stuck.

Colin Pickles
Psychologist, PsyD
I firmly believe that relationships are central to our well-being and specialize in helping others to understand their relational patterns, strengthen their communication, and feel closer to those they care about. To do so, we can explore how your internal narratives lead you to certain assumptions and behaviors within your relationship, as well as ending sessions with identified skills to practice so that you leave feeling confident. Call me for a free phone consultation so that we can decide if I'm the right fit for you!

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.

Caitlin Derouen
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LPC, EMDRT
Relationships are hard! They take a lot of nurturing and a lot of work to keep them healthy. That is where I come in. With an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach, I teach couples to better recognize their own needs and their partner's needs and find a health way to communicate so that we can increase feelings of safety, closeness, and connection in their relationship.

Tempe is home to Arizona State University, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, giving the city an unusually young demographic profile and a mental health landscape dominated by the needs of students, young adults, and university staff. Therapists in Tempe frequently work with issues common to young adult life—academic stress, identity development, anxiety, relationship challenges, and substance use—and ASU's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource for enrolled students. The city's location at the center of the Phoenix metro area means therapists are readily accessible across a range of specialties, with practices concentrated in the areas around Mill Avenue and downtown Tempe. Many therapists in the area offer sliding scale or reduced-fee services to serve the student population alongside their full-fee private practice clients.
