Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I embrace a supportive and empathetic approach towards relationship and marriage counseling, acknowledging the unique journey each couple undertakes. By weaving together a rich tapestry of holistic strategies and psychotherapeutic tools, including Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Role-Playing, Emotional Family Therapy (EFT), and Imago Therapy, we collaboratively address the heart of relationship challenges. This integrative approach not only uncovers the roots of conflict and communication breakdowns but also nurtures a deeper connection and understanding between partners. Through these varied techniques, couples learn to navigate disputes, rebuild trust, and enhance emotional intimacy within a secure and caring space. Focusing on individual growth as a cornerstone for a healthy relationship, I guide partners towards self-awareness and mutual respect, empowering them to enrich their shared journey. My role is to facilitate this path of exploration and renewal, equipping couples with the insights and strategies necessary for a loving and resilient partnership.

Rinat Kass
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Relationships are a crucial component to our well being and fulfillment in life. Unfortunately, most of us did not have good role models while growing up to show us how to successfully navigate the conflicts and challenges that every relationship is bound to experience. Thankfully, it is never too late to learn how to build healthy and meaningful relationships. In our work together, I will lean on years of studying relationships and the best ways to help people create fulfilling connections.

Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hello! When working with couples, adult family relationships, and friendships, I take an attachment approach. I want to get to know the stories of past and present relationships, relational patterns, stresses, dreams, and victories that are currently impacting your felt-sense of being known, safely, and fully in your relationship(s). I infuse the decades of research and communication templates of Gottman Method Couples Counseling with the tailored insight of Attachment Core Pattern Therapy. Together we'll discover what part of the relational conflict is really about the issue you're discussing, really about the person you're in conflict with, the deeper roots of pain that are being triggered, and how the relationship you're in can be a part of your healing the rooted relational injury.
