Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Stuart Kaplowitz / Serene Pathways Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MFT
Sometimes, it is not what we say but how we say it. We may also miss valuable bits of information our partner shares, especially when we are not as calm and focused. The goal is never a perfect marriage but a relationship that continues to learn, grow and thrive

Anat Sideman-Schneider
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT
There is nothing quite as wonderful as a secure, romantic, committed love relationship. Yet even in the most loving couples, the nature of our past attachments together with the stress of daily life, can erode intimacy and trust and expose insecurities, jealousy, defensiveness, anger, sexual difficulties, disappointment and pain. As your couples’ therapist, my goal is to create a safe space where you can each feel heard and learn to better understand your relationship dynamics so that together you can restore trust and create positive change.

Communication is key to having a relationship with yourself and your partner. It take trust in self and others to establish healthy relationships. I will help you establish that trust and discover ways to express your feelings in a respectful and safe way.

Maureen Backman
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
Often, my clients seek out relationship therapy feeling disconnection - disconnection from their partners, disconnection from themselves, and disconnection from their relationship. You may be feeling like your relationship has reached an impasse - conflicts feel unsolvable, and you’re not sure where to go from here. You may be navigating a major transition in your relationship, and aren’t sure how to find your way back to each other. Or maybe things are going ok, but you’re wanting to experience deeper connection and intimacy. Whatever has brought you to therapy, I’m here to help you and your partner navigate a pathway back to connection.
As your therapist, I help you move from disconnection to connection. I invite you to identify your core desires in your relationship and how you want to feel with each other. We gently explore patterns in your relationship and learn how to create a more positive cycle of interaction. Drawing on my training in mindfulness-based, experiential therapy, I also guide you and your partner through interactive exercises so you have new, reparative experiences in session with each other.
This type of therapy fosters deeper connection and healing that includes body, mind and spirit.
You may be wondering whether relationship therapy is for you, or whether you can bring all of yourself into therapy. You may feel like you and your partner don’t fit the mold of the typical “couple.” My practice welcomes you, and I look forward to co-creating a space that fits your unique partnership. I welcome all constellations of relationship, including open and poly. I affirm sexual and gender diversity in my work, and am kink and BDSM-affirming. I believe therapy should be accessible to all minds and bodies, and welcome neurodiversity.
