Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Mayra Bagnoli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I enjoy helping people to explore their relationships and working on improving communication, common goals, learning to overcome differences, to compromise, to manage conflicts; I believe if violence is not involved, any relationship maybe be improved; only with openness, connection, and creative problem solving your relationship might become the one you always dreamt of.

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. Here is a list of them.
1) 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? 2) 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." 3) 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).

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.
