Carrie Askin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Most of the couples I work with have been in couples therapy before - sometimes more than once. Couples tell me they felt as though their previous therapist took sides or that they were allowed to argue for the entire session and that by the end of the session they felt farther apart than when they started. For couples therapy to work both people need to know that they will be heard and understood and that the couples therapist will interrupt hurtful and unproductive patterns.
I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy which is a highly effective approach to helping couples to repair longstanding patterns of endless conflict, hurt and resentment, and painful disconnection.
I work with straight, same-sex, and genderqueer couples as well as with friends and siblings. k

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., DBSM
Dr. Kessler helps couples improve their communication, resolve conflict, and build stronger relationships. With over 25 years of experience working with couples, he uses a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Gottman therapy. He can help couples with a variety of concerns related to communication issues, sexuality and intimacy, extended families, parenting and blended families.
The most effective way to help couples is to create a safe and supportive space where they can feel comfortable talking about their challenges, focusing on improving communication and understanding. Therapy will help couples to identify and address the underlying issues in their relationship, and develop the skills they need to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict.
