David Essel, M.S., O.M.
Counselor/Therapist, Master's Degree Psychology, Ordained All Faiths Minister
David;s approach is so different when it comes to relationship counseling. He does NOT believe in traditional couples counseling, but rather works with each partner 1 on 1, which has given him huge positive results with every client he works with. He does not believe partners should pay for counseling when they continue to argue in sessions, they can do that at home for free.

Couples argue about many things, and it's normal to have disagreements. What you do at those times will determine whether your relationship will survive. Learning how to communicate effectively, from a position of love and respect, is my main focus when working with couples.

Peter C. Jackson, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
Every relationship has its unique dynamics, and sometimes patterns emerge that lead to disconnection, misunderstanding, or recurring conflict. In marital and relationship therapy, I provide a safe and structured environment for partners to explore these dynamics. We will collaboratively uncover the underlying needs and perspectives of each individual, fostering greater compassion and effective communication. The aim is to move beyond reactivity, build stronger bridges of understanding, and empower you to co-create a relationship built on mutual respect, trust, and shared growth.

Maureen Karol, LMHC
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor
I have found that when you really look at why couple's have difficulty, it can be broken down into poor communication but not in the way that most people think. Most of us think of poor communication as ineffective ways to express how we feel but really what I have found is that each person speaks a different language all together. Men and women are biologically different and because of that, they think different and because of that, they communicate different. It is that simple. It's not that either one is bad at communicating it is that they are speaking like they are thinking which is why men and women always complain that "he or she never understands me." I see my role as an interpreter, I help each translate between the two with the end goal being them having a better handle on how the other thinks and speaks so that communication can be easier.
