Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
By the time they show up in my virtual office, many neurodiverse couples have had previous couple therapy experiences that did not go well, and are feeling increasingly stuck and hopeless about reconnecting in their relationship. If you are navigating ADHD, Autism, OCD, or other forms of neurodivergence in your relationship, you need an experienced couple therapist with a profound understanding of both the strengths and challenges of having brain-based differences, and how these differences can impact communication, energy management, nervous system activation, intimacy, and more. I would love to help you chart a different path for your neurodiverse relationship that allows you to interact with greater ease and connect more authentically.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Relationships and couples/marriage counseling is one of the main reasons people seek therapy. Attachment research is clear about our need as human to connect with and have a loving relationship with another that is mutual and reciprocal.

Shelia King
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, Certified Sex Addiction & Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist
Most marital challenges stem from entrenched, dysfunctional relationship patterns. I help couples facing the possibility of divorce determine the next best steps using Discernment Counseling. We carefully examine the underlying dynamics that have brought them to this point and I help you determine what next best steps are.

Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez
Licensed Professional Counselor, Couples Therapy, Affair & Betrayal Recovery, Certified Sex Therapy, Certified Discernment Counselor
My practice is devoted exclusively to Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling—I am not a generalist who also works with couples. My advanced training in the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, AASECT Certified Sex Therapy, and Financial Couples Therapy allows me to address communication, conflict, emotional connection, trust, sexual intimacy, and money as interconnected parts of the relationship. I help partners understand their attachment styles and how these influence the ways they bond, seek connection, respond to conflict, and protect themselves when they feel hurt or disconnected. I also help couples have more productive conversations about their shared vision while understanding the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors that shape how each partner relates to money. Couples experience an active, direct, and highly specialized approach designed to identify the patterns keeping them stuck and help them create meaningful, lasting change.

Alistair Highet
Licensed Psychoanalyst, MA, LP, NCPsyA
I have specialized training in marriage and relationship counseling. We need our relationships, to help us shoulder the challenges of life, but also to discover who we are in the deepest sense. But old ideas of ourselves and deep inner patterns can obscure and cloud our judgment, and we can find ourselves living out our relationship in patterns that are in the way. When a couple wants to move forward there is always a way. I can help you clear away the distortions, find the language of understanding, that can help you to grow together.

Stamford is Connecticut's most economically dynamic city and a major center for hedge funds, financial services, and media companies, with a population that is more diverse than its wealthy reputation might suggest—including significant Black, Latino, and immigrant communities alongside the finance professionals who define the city's public image. The high-pressure finance and media industry culture creates substantial mental health demand around burnout, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and the relational difficulties that come with demanding careers and high financial expectations. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Stamford's affluent professional class, while community health organizations address the mental health needs of lower-income residents in parts of the city that are far less prosperous than the downtown core. Common therapy concerns range from anxiety and burnout at the top of the economic spectrum to trauma, economic stress, and access barriers at the bottom, reflecting a city of pronounced contrasts.
