Beth Clardy Lewis
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S
Marriage requires communication, repair, emotional maturity, and shared vision — and most couples never get taught those skills. I help partners reconnect, navigate conflict, and rediscover intimacy with clear, evidence-based tools. My work blends therapeutic expertise with the clarity of an author’s perspective, making complex dynamics easier to understand and shift. Whether you're rebuilding or enriching your relationship, our work will bring you back to one another with purpose.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Childhood patterns often emerge in the context of our intimate love relationships. Work to identify and unpack these can be very helpful at bringing these into awareness and helping folks choose rather than react. Core themes in relationship work include differentiation and taking responsibility for self-regulation emotionally which can set the stage for true intimacy as opposed to tangled patterns of reactivity.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Relationships are hard, and asking for help is not a sign that something is broken beyond repair. It is usually a sign that you still care. I work with couples who are trying to reconnect, recover, or simply understand each other better. We will look honestly at what is happening between you and figure out where to go from there.

Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I have over a decade of expertise in conceptualizing and treating struggling interpersonal and intimate relationships. Through a honed lens of social constructionism, I focus on understanding and meeting the unique needs, meanings, and values of each relationship. Every relationship is unlike any other. This stance promotes authentic curiosity and explores how we make meaning together. Meaning and action are closely interwoven in our relationships, and each member of the relational context influences the culture and landscape of the interpersonal experiences within. In therapy, we collaborate in creating a new way of relating that allows the rediscovery of empathy for each other in these contexts, and resolves troubling patterns of communication and differences in expectations that negatively impact understanding, connection, and value...
I believe relationships and context matter. Research shows that relationship distress causes problems in mental health, work, children, and even your own physical health. Yet, healthy relationships protect you from stress and help you thrive.
I believe in using relationship therapy that works. I practice evidence-based therapy, which means I use therapeutic practices that have been studied and supported by empirical research studies.
I work with clients to improve their interpersonal functioning both within relational contexts (i.e., couples, families), as well as with individuals who would like to focus on their past, present, and future interpersonal interactions. Clients explore the relational impacts of experiences such as rejection sensitivity, feelings of codependency, attachment concerns, life transitions, divorce, trust, shame, self-esteem, assertiveness, and the impact of dating in the digital-age (i.e., feeling ignored, insecure, ghosting, text communications).
Unfortunately, most people don't have access to effective help for their relationships nor have they been taught what healthy relationships and communication look like. Because of this, I also prioritize increasing access to couple therapy by offering telehealth, evening and weekend scheduling, and lower-cost options that are tailored to Client needs and resources.
I strive to understand your goals, help you communicate and form these goals explicitly, and reach them effectively. I have worked with couples, families, parents, Veterans, adolescents, and individuals on strengthening their relationships and interpersonal skills. I have expertise in working with LGBTQIA+ relationships, sex therapy, and increasing physical and emotional intimacy between partners who seek nonjudgmental therapeutic space and openness to non-traditional relationships (i.e., polyamory, open relationships, play partners, swingers, friends with benefits (FWBs), BDSM etc.). I work with couples/relationships and individuals addressing pornography consumption, kink, and all manner of consensual play. (See additional relational competencies in the ‘diversity’ sections and relationship based ‘services.’) I often employ a mixture of Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Couples Therapy when working with intimate partners. I have an extensive background in Family Systems modalities as well, including Gottman Method, Structural Family Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Family Systems, and others.
