Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
As a relationship therapist, I firmly believe that close partnerships are where the most deep beautiful healing can occur AND a place where we can also get very, very hurt. I also believe strongly that so many relationships have the potential to thrive when given space, time, and a little little from a specialized professional. In my work with relationships, (both monogamous and non-monogamous), I work with clients to find their stuck spots - not just "that fight" that comes up all the time, but to the actual root cause of that fight in the first place (which is often not at all what we think it is). I guide folks through a series of education to help them understand the ways in which they are getting in their own way, followed by a series of interventions designed to help you grow in understanding of yourself and your partner(s) so that you can actually get past the blocks in your relationship, to place where you feel truly safe to be yourself. I have worked with couples/relationships that come to me for the "big things" like infidelity, life-altering decisions, and moving from monogamy to opening their relationship, as well as those who are in a good place and just looking to build better communication skills - all is welcome!
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
Relationships can be deeply impacted by infidelity, betrayal, pornography, sex addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, emotional disconnection, and loss of trust. I help couples navigate these difficult relationship challenges through confidential, compassionate, and nonjudgmental marriage and couples support
My work includes infidelity recovery, betrayal recovery, betrayal trauma, trust issues, intimacy problems, sexual relationship concerns, pornography use, porn addiction, sex addiction, and problematic or compulsive sexual behaviors. Whether you are trying to save your marriage after an affair, rebuild trust following betrayal, or address the impact of pornography or sexual compulsivity, A Safe Place To Share provides a structured space to understand what happened and determine how to move forward.
For couples affected by infidelity or betrayal, we can address anger, grief, anxiety, insecurity, shame, resentment, loss of trust, and the challenges of restoring emotional and physical intimacy. When porn addiction, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior affects a relationship, both partners may need support, the partner struggling with the behavior may experience shame, secrecy, and guilt, while the betrayed partner may experience trauma, emotional distress, loss of safety, and difficulty trusting again.
Together, we can work toward rebuilding trust, improving communication, repairing emotional and physical intimacy, establishing healthy boundaries, understanding relationship patterns, and creating meaningful change. My goal is to help couples create relationships that are healthier, safer, more honest, and more connected.
If your marriage or relationship has been affected by an affair, infidelity, betrayal, pornography, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, A Safe Place To Share can help you understand the path forward and determine what healing and a healthier relationship can look like.

Relationships
Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. One of the most important is: Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it?
It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong."
Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy
Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.
