Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
With my background in Couple and Family Therapy, it is crucial to my work to understand the relational systems in your life. Families, blood-related and chosen, are the foundational examples for your values and emotional connection. For couples, these relational dynamics are how we learn vulnerability, fear, emotional expression, etc. Within our sessions, you can gain understanding of these generational patterns that are impacting your relationships and get to a place of honesty, communication and connection.

Dr. Andrew Bingman
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist, PsyD
My goal when working with couples is to validate each partner's experience, while identifying aspects of the couple's interactions with each other that contribute to conflict and relationship dissatisfaction. Once these elements are identified, we will work as a team to identify alternative ways of interacting that feel congruent and effective for each partner.

Rachel Miller
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Couples often get stuck in patterns shaped by power dynamics, communication habits, or unspoken expectations. I work with partners to explore these dynamics, improve understanding and emotional connection, and develop practical skills for conflict resolution, communication, and fair division of labor. My approach emphasizes accountability, mutual growth, and building a partnership that reflects both partners’ needs and values.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I help individuals who feel stuck in painful relationship patterns—people‑pleasing, conflict avoidance, repeating the same dynamics, or feeling unseen and alone even when partnered. As you grow more connected to your own needs, boundaries, and inner wisdom, you can begin to create relationships that feel safer, more reciprocal, and deeply nourishing.

Angela Nguyen
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
The main reason why I've become a Marriage and Family Therapist is due to my passion in helping relationships. It's really easy to misconstrue and also be misunderstood by others, and so it's helpful to have someone help interpret and draw out what's really being communicated.

Jason Herr
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I provide relationship and marriage counseling for couples and individuals seeking stronger communication, deeper understanding, and healthier connection. With extensive experience working with couples, families, and diverse clinical concerns across community mental health and private practice settings, I help partners identify patterns that create conflict or disconnection while building skills for trust, emotional intimacy, and effective problem-solving. Relationship therapy is often about learning how to clearly communicate needs, desires, and a sense of safety within the relationship so both partners can feel heard, respected, and understood. My approach is balanced, practical, and insight-oriented, supporting clients in creating more stable, respectful, and fulfilling relationships.
