Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Heling couples overcome barriers in their relationships is a very common focus of my clinical work. I don't adhere to one particular model or approach but do tend to focus on helping both parties in the relationship understand each other's needs and to shift into responding to those needs in a caring way. Often this involves understanding each other's backgrounds, and unresolved issues from childhood. My view is that when these issues become activated our adult romantic relationships this can be a tremendous opportunity for healing if approached with love and consideration.

Adrienne Clements
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Do you feel distant and disconnected from your spouse or partner, sometimes wondering if you really know each other anymore? Are the two of you struggling to get along, resolve conflicts and communicate in a healthy, productive and positive way? Do you wonder if you even still like each other? Perhaps you aren’t fighting, but you aren’t really spending any meaningful time together either, and it increasingly feels like the love, passion and intimacy that was once the glue holding you together as a team has faded away. Maybe things between you are tense, and although you try to share your experiences or express your deepest thoughts and feelings, you worry that you partner doesn’t understand you or doesn’t care enough to really listen. Or, perhaps you find yourselves arguing about everything, from dirty dishes to finances to in-laws and parenting. Do you feel as though you’re just going through the motions or walking on eggshells when you’re around each other? Do you long to be able to rebuild the love and connection you once had that helped you both feel safe, understood and valued in the relationship? It is possible to restore happiness and satisfaction to your relationship. I know that you, your partner and your relationship are unique. I am trained in several couples approaches, and I am a Level 3 Gottman Method trained therapist.
The Gottman Method is a foundational piece of my approach, and I will adapt proven strategies tailored to fit your unique relationship as well as your individual personalities, needs and therapy goals. Generally, we begin by helping you explore your relationship on three levels:
Friendship, affection and connection
How you deal with conflict
Shared life goals and vision
In strengths-based sessions, rather than focusing on surface-level relationship or marriage problems, I will help you identify and resolve issues at their roots so that you can work toward deep, lasting healing. I will also help to cast light on your relationship strengths, collaborating with you to create strategies that bring them more fully into action.

Dr. Lois Nightingale
Psychologist, MA, Ph.D.
I have been working with couples in therapy for over 30 years. I have written a book, "It's a Bedroom, not a Boardroom," on process communication rather than competitive styles of communicating. I often work with couples who own businesses together and are outcome driven. I work to improve their communication and compassion in the relationship. I work with couples who are facing resentments and betrayals as well as with couples who wish to improve their communication skills and develop compassion for each other.

Ms. Carol Jean Timmons
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The goal of Couple Counseling is for a third party to help the couple see what they cannot see in their interactions, hear from each other what they have not been able to hear, have empathy for feelings of which they were unaware, forgive what they were too angry to forgive, and appreciate what they have forgotten to be grateful for in their relationship. I believe that if two people want their relationship to work, it definitely can! If even one does not, it will not work.

Dr. Lynne Logan
Marriage and Family Therapist, Ph.D., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Marriage is challenging -- relationships face numerous challenges. How do you resolve conflict? How do you communicate? How can you possibly get over betrayals? How do you forgive? Is it even possible? I suggest to couples as soon as communication begins to break down, anger can't be resolved, or you feel a 'detachment' from yourself or partner -- don't wait to seek professional help. Often, denying there's a problem and waiting too long makes it more difficult to heal.
