Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
A Marriage and Family Therapist has an extensive knowledge on the relational aspects in a family unit. Relationships take much effort as it takes both parties to work toward establishing a healthy relationship as well as maintaining and making further progress in a long-term relationship. The main modalities that can be used are Gottman Methods and Attachment-Based Systemic Therapy. Also a certified domestic violence therapist can help identify warning signs in the relationship to help mitigate or prevent potentially dangerous situations and/or build a healthy relationship if you have been in an unhealthy codependent relationship.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Communication difficulties are often at the center of relational conflict; partners and family members may feel missed, disconnected, unheard, and misunderstood. Couples sessions are geared toward reworking the communication and interaction patterns that may have become ingrained in your partnership or family unit - to assist in rebuilding trust, connection, and cohesion. Learning about ourselves, the ways we show up in our relationships, and our response tendencies can shed important light on these patterns, the relational needs that are unmet within them, and ways to step outside of them. One of the most important first steps in our work together is to begin seeing these overarching patterns as the reasons for pain, rather than treating the pain as being the fault of an individual partner or family member.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, the bulk of my research and practice is on relationships. Couples often seek counseling to improve their communication, resolve conflicts, improve their intimacy, recover from infidelity, manage an addiction, or work through a stressor.

Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I value loving marriage as a challenging and satisfying personal growth path. I also believe raising children is important and a challenge. Parents need a strong relationship for themselves and their children.
And it's a joy for me help women find their forever person. I work with them through their dating process to assess possible partners, and choose a good person. I teach tools like the Myers Briggs Personality Indicator, Attachment style assessment, and Effective Communication Skills to help them strengthen their relationship toolkit.
With my married couples, I help them develop communication and intimacy skills within their marriage to create the positive relationship that will thrive in our current culture and last forever.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Relationships are some of the most rewarding parts of life—but they can also bring stress, frustration, and conflict. I specialize in helping couples and partners navigate challenges such as communication difficulties, trust issues, emotional disconnection, infidelity, and differing values or expectations.
In therapy, couples gain a safe, structured space to explore underlying dynamics, improve understanding, and develop skills for healthy communication and problem-solving. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, helping partners identify negative interaction patterns, manage emotional reactivity, and create new ways of relating that foster connection, empathy, and mutual respect.
Whether you are looking to repair a struggling relationship, navigate major life transitions together, or strengthen an already healthy partnership, therapy focuses on both insight and action—teaching practical strategies that partners can implement in daily life. I also support blended families, co-parenting couples, and couples navigating significant stressors such as relocation, career changes, or family illness.
My goal is to help couples build resilience, deepen intimacy, and create a relationship foundation that is not only functional but also fulfilling.
