Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
A Marriage and Family Therapist has an extensive knowledge on the relational aspects in a family unit. Relationships take much effort as it takes both parties to work toward establishing a healthy relationship as well as maintaining and making further progress in a long-term relationship. The main modalities that can be used are Gottman Methods and Attachment-Based Systemic Therapy. Also a certified domestic violence therapist can help identify warning signs in the relationship to help mitigate or prevent potentially dangerous situations and/or build a healthy relationship if you have been in an unhealthy codependent relationship.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—people‑pleasing, conflict avoidance, repeating the same dynamics, or feeling unseen and alone even when partnered. As you grow more connected to your own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom, you can begin to create relationships that feel safer, more reciprocal, and deeply nourishing.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman

Strong marriages don't happen by accident, they're built intentionally, one conversation at a time. We help couples at every stage understand the patterns keeping them stuck, rebuild trust and emotional intimacy, and develop the skills for a relationship that genuinely thrives. Whether you're in crisis or simply wanting more, we provide a calm, structured space to do the work.

Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, feeling disconnected, or unsure how you got so far from the closeness you once had. Many couples I work with struggle with communication breakdowns, unmet emotional needs, issues with intimacy, or feeling like they're constantly missing each other. In our work together, we slow things down to understand the patterns beneath the conflict, not just what's happening, but why it keeps happening. From there we begin rebuilding connection, trust, and a deeper sense of partnership.

Dr. Aleksandra Drecun
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Relationship counseling strengthens bonds involved in interpersonal relationships. It is not necessary to have a troubled relationship to seek counseling. Relationship counseling can include couples or families to achieve more adequate, satisfying and productive romantic and family relationships and social adjustment. Relationship counseling or therapy also includes premarital counseling, divorce or separation counseling and other relationship counseling.
