Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
One of our primary basic human needs is the need for connection and relationship. Research has shown that people with supportive friendships and relationships tend to live longer and be healthier. But even though relationships are so rewarding and core to our well being, they can also be some of the most challenging aspects of our life. Why are they so difficult? There are many theories about this - but, bottom line, when we become close to someone, we relax, spend more time together and "let down our hair". So it makes sense that our issues and triggers will begin to surface and not be as easy to keep under wraps. This isn't all bad, however. The flip side is that it means we feel comfortable enough with someone to "be ourselves". And it's also an opportunity to see our own issues and what gets in the way of our becoming more intimate and having a healthy connection. With the proper therapeutic guidance, it IS possible to stop these recycling issues and conflicts, resolve them at their core, and gain confidence about how to repair, reconnect and revitalize your relationship!

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Relationship and marriage counseling addresses patterns of connection, conflict, intimacy, and emotional closeness between partners. My work integrates psychoanalytic and relational approaches to explore how early attachment patterns shape adult partnerships. Together, couples develop deeper understanding, communication, and emotional presence with one another.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Relationships are some of the most rewarding parts of life—but they can also bring stress, frustration, and conflict. I specialize in helping couples and partners navigate challenges such as communication difficulties, trust issues, emotional disconnection, infidelity, and differing values or expectations.
In therapy, couples gain a safe, structured space to explore underlying dynamics, improve understanding, and develop skills for healthy communication and problem-solving. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, helping partners identify negative interaction patterns, manage emotional reactivity, and create new ways of relating that foster connection, empathy, and mutual respect.
Whether you are looking to repair a struggling relationship, navigate major life transitions together, or strengthen an already healthy partnership, therapy focuses on both insight and action—teaching practical strategies that partners can implement in daily life. I also support blended families, co-parenting couples, and couples navigating significant stressors such as relocation, career changes, or family illness.
My goal is to help couples build resilience, deepen intimacy, and create a relationship foundation that is not only functional but also fulfilling.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can feel especially challenging when your brain works in ways that don’t quite match what others expect. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a therapeutic space built around how you think: full of empathy, structure, and insight. Because we understand how intense focus, rapid associations, or lingering disconnects impact connection, we tailor couples and relational work to translate misunderstandings into deeper understanding, and build communication strategies that really work for your unique style. With support built around your perspective, you can move from friction and confusion toward connection and clarity.
