Philip Gnilka
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CPC, LPC, LCPC, CCMHC, NCC
Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of relentless arguments, struggling with issues like trust, communication breakdowns, or a lack of emotional intimacy? Perhaps the challenges you're facing have led to a sense of frustration, leaving you both questioning the viability of your relationship. It's not uncommon for couples to find themselves navigating through a maze of challenges—be it financial stress, parenting conflicts, or the pressures of busy lives. Do you find yourself thinking negatively about your relationship and wonder if this is as good as it gets?
In the midst of life's demands, it's easy for couples to feel overwhelmed and lose sight of the deep connection that initially brought them together. However, there is hope. Through counseling, you can reignite the passion, strengthen your bond, and build a more resilient foundation for your relationship. Imagine a life where communication is fluid, understanding is profound, and conflicts become opportunities for growth rather than sources of distress.
The Gottman Method is rooted in decades of research and has proven to be highly effective in helping couples achieve lasting positive change. Through this evidence-based approach, you will gain invaluable insights into the dynamics of your relationship, learn practical tools for effective communication, and discover ways to nurture emotional intimacy.
Embarking on this journey together is a courageous step towards a more fulfilling and harmonious relationship. Take the first step towards a revitalized relationship and reach out. I offer a complementary 15-minute consultation session for you to get to know me and ask any questions you may have. Prior to transitioning into private practice, I spent over a decade as a tenured professor in the counseling field. Throughout this time, I taught and supervised countless counseling trainees. I am enthusiastic about directly applying the knowledge and insights gained from this experience to help guide you toward a more fulfilling life.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
I love to work with couples. I have always had a strong desire to work with them before I began practicing as a clinician. I love to see people happy and in love, and if I can assist in that process to help them rediscover each other, then that makes me happy. I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which is considered to be the best couples therapy modality out there according to the research. I utilize this modality the most in my work with couples, while also borrowing elements from Gottman's Method and the Prepare/Enrich modality. My goal is to give you the most comprehensive and effective treatment possible as a couple.

Lauren Blalock
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Couples counseling can be one of the greatest gifts you give your relationship. I can help you have the hard conversations, reconnect, strengthen an already meaningful bond and find clarity around issues that continually crop up. All relationships have their challenges and conflict is normal. Working through concerns with a therapist can help you finally find resolution.

Gwen Grigsby
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Are you and your partner having the same argument over and over? Do you feel misunderstood, unheard, and hopeless about your future together? During conflict and uncertainty, it can be challenging to slow down and see what’s going on between the two of you, let alone change it. I work with couples at all stages of relationships, from those who are considering taking the next step in commitment to those who want to re-engage and get their relationship back on track.
