Hayden Dover MFT - Couples Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Have you and your partner become distant? Do you and your partner feel like roommates? Do you miss the passion and deep connection you once had in your relationship? Do you long for deeper emotional and sexual intimacy in your marriage? Do you feel hopeless and frustrated by the lack of intimacy in your relationship? Does your relationship cause you more stress than it relieves? Do you have arguments with your partner that go nowhere? Do you and your partner struggle with communication issues, conflict or sexual issues that undermine your ability to have a fulfilling relationship? Do you wish that your relationship could be more rewarding for you and your partner?
During our ninety-minute couples sessions, you and your partner will receive holistic, solution-focused approaches to help you develop clear communication, effective conflict resolution skills, and strategies to fulfill each other’s emotional and sexual needs. You will be supported in creating a more enriching relationship together in which you feel known, loved, supported and deeply connected.
I provide couples counseling, sex therapy and premarital counseling for couples because I believe that our intimate relationships are our best opportunities for deep connection, intimacy, support and pleasure. I’m passionate about supporting couples in creating more effective, intimate and rewarding relationships. Call or email me today to set up an initial consultation and we’ll take the first step toward creating a more fulfilling relationship together.

Couples therapy is not about deciding who’s right — it’s about learning how to hear each other and rebuild trust. I help partners slow down their conflicts, identify recurring cycles, and practice new ways of connecting that strengthen the relationship.

Allen Shamon
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Effective communication is essential for healthy relationships, and I help couples develop and refine their communication skills. I teach couples active listening techniques, assertiveness skills, and strategies for expressing thoughts and feelings in a constructive manner. By improving communication, couples can better understand each other's perspectives, resolve conflicts more effectively, and strengthen their emotional connection.

Jennifer Warkentin
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a licensed marriage and family therapist, the bulk of my research and practice is on relationships. Couples often seek counseling to improve their communication, resolve conflicts, improve their intimacy, recover from infidelity, manage an addiction, or work through a stressor. Sharing a life with another person comes with challenges. I'll share some tools for managing roadblocks and help strengthen your bond.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Laura Fleming
Pre-Licensed Professional, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist
I love working with couples because our partners often reflect the parts of ourselves we struggle to see (or don't want to see!) on our own. Relationships bring up deep emotions, tender wounds, and protective patterns which makes this work both challenging and incredibly meaningful. In couples therapy, I help partners slow down, understand what’s happening beneath conflict, and create new, authentic ways to show love and support each other.
