Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Relationships are my jam! While I do not do couple's therapy, I work with my clients to understand the root of their relationship issues and find a path for growth. I have studied relationships for years. Heck, my dissertation was entitled "How Gay Men Foster Marital Success," which required I study all types of relationships to understand the cultural, societal, and individual differences that arise in relationship formation through relationship maturity.

Fuller Life Concepts
Marriage and Family Therapist
Our 12-session Intimacy & Connection model is designed to help couples rebuild emotional closeness, strengthen communication, and restore trust. This structured program guides partners through understanding relationship patterns, improving conflict resolution, increasing vulnerability, and deepening physical and emotional intimacy.
Using evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches, we help couples move from disconnection and frustration to partnership and security. The goal is not perfection—it’s creating a safe, loving relationship where both partners feel seen, valued, and connected.

Allison Pichardo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
It can feel hopeless when our partner is not understanding our emotions or needs. We can get stuck in negative patterns and not know how to change them. If this is what your relationship feels like, let me help you. I help couples learn how to communicate difficult things in ways that their partner can actually understand. And I help couples learn about each other on a deeper emotional level.

Relationship & Marriage Counseling
Transforming Relational Barriers into Opportunities for Depth and Healing
Even the strongest partnerships encounter periods of emotional distance, repeating conflict loops, or painful friction. When high-pressure stress or unaddressed grievances accumulate, partners often find themselves stuck in reactive cycles—feeling misunderstood, defensive, or disconnected from the intimacy they once shared.
My approach to couples therapy is grounded in a powerful premise: our adult romantic relationships naturally activate our deepest unhealed wounds and unmet needs from childhood. Rather than viewing these activations as evidence of failure, we approach them as a profound opportunity for mutual healing, personal growth, and deeper connection.
An Integrative, Need-Centered Approach
I do not force couples into a rigid, one-size-fits-all framework. Instead, I integrate gold-standard relational principles—including attachment theory, Imago frameworks, and systemic communication tools—to help both partners build a secure, thriving relationship architecture:
De-escalating Reactive Cycles: We identify the unspoken triggers and defensive scripts that drive recurring arguments, helping you step out of defensive posture and into calm, productive dialogue.
Understanding Your Partner’s Blueprint: We explore how each partner’s history, early family dynamics, and core attachment style shape their current emotional needs, expectations, and vulnerabilities.
Cultivating Active Empathy & Responsiveness: We shift the relational dynamic from blame to genuine curiosity—helping each partner learn how to express their needs clearly and respond to their partner's longings with care, consideration, and love.
Restoring Intimacy & Trust: Whether healing from emotional distance, major life transitions, or breaches of trust, we focus on rebuilding a strong foundation of safety, emotional presence, and shared purpose.
A Safe, High-Touch Environment for Both Partners
A successful therapeutic space for couples requires absolute neutrality, discretion, and deep clinical poise.
Whether working with couples in active crisis, partners navigating a major crossroad, or couples simply seeking to deepen their emotional and physical intimacy, my goal is to provide a balanced, non-judgmental environment where both individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to build a meaningful future together.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Couples counseling is a powerful way to work! I incorporate my 25 years of experience in the field, along with mindfulness, Hakomi, and the work of Stan Tatkin (PACT - the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) to form a safe, compassionate, and transformative space for you and your partner. My work with couples is potent, with sessions usually lasting two hours. As a result, the overall number of sessions is fewer than with traditional couples therapy.
