Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Relationship counseling is a significant part my practice but in a unique way. I often work with one partner as the other either doesn't believe THEY have a problem or simply refuse to participate in relationship counseling. Based in part on my training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with many years of experience, I am often able to improve the relationship by working with the "willing partner". Sometimes this involves working on improving communication skills and or assertiveness. Other times, it may involve teaching behavior modification such as using social or tangible ways that improve receptiveness and cooperation over time. In other situations, it can involve helping client recognize how they may be inadvertently contributing to the kind of behavior they don't like. Almost always it involves a degree of helping the client accept the things they can't change and modify their own beliefs and self talk. My motto is "we do more than listen". Teaching clients new attitudes and strategies to improve their relationships is a very gratifying part of my work with clients.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
I offer strengths-based, topic-focused therapy for couples with a generally stable relationship foundation. This work can help partners understand one another more deeply, communicate more clearly about the topic, prepare thoughtfully for challenges, and approach important decisions with greater intentionality. Although I remain attentive to the broader context of your relationship, the specific area bringing you to therapy will remain the primary focus. If you are seeking therapy centered on the relationship as a whole or on concerns spanning multiple areas, comprehensive couples therapy with another provider may be a better fit.
My couples work is limited to three areas:
**Pre-marital or pre-commitment therapy** offers a guided, semi-structured opportunity to prepare for a life together. We may explore communication and conflict, trust and commitment, intimacy, values and expectations, identities and cultures, family and community, finances, careers, work-life balance, and your shared goals and vision for the relationship.
**Financial therapy for couples** focuses on the psychological, emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions of money. Our work may involve understanding each partner’s money history and beliefs, communicating more openly about finances, navigating differences in values or risk tolerance, addressing financial anxiety or avoidance, and approaching shared decisions more collaboratively and intentionally. This service is psychotherapy rather than financial planning or advising.
**LGBTQ+ family-building therapy for couples** supports partners who share a commitment to pursuing parenthood and want help choosing among or navigating possible paths to building their family. This may include assisted reproduction, surrogacy or gestational carrier arrangements, adoption, or other paths to parenthood. Therapy can help you clarify values and priorities, communicate about genetic or gestational connections and family roles, manage medical, legal, logistical, emotional, and financial demands, and navigate uncertainty or setbacks together. This is not discernment therapy focused on whether to become parents.
Across all three services, the goal is to help you engage the topic as a team while making room for each partner’s experiences, needs, values, identities, and perspectives.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Disconnection, tension, and repeated arguments can leave you wondering if real change is possible. You may long to feel heard by your partner without conversations turning into conflict. As an experienced couples therapist, I create a safe, supportive space where both of you can express yourselves, learn to communicate more effectively, and begin to rebuild trust and connection. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic principles, I help couples explore underlying emotional patterns and create lasting, meaningful change in their relationship.
