Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with couples using Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). IBCT focuses on the real pattern a couple gets stuck in, not just surface-level communication tips, and builds both understanding and concrete change around it. I work with couples navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, infidelity, and major life decisions together.

Aiki Relationship Institute
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Relationship therapy/counseling is the heart of my practice. I am passionate about helping people create and maintain the best possible intimate relationships they can. While I have a lot of experience working with larger families, my focus over the past 20 years has shifted more and more to working with couples and intimate relaitonships. My style tends to be quite active, and I believe a very large part of what leads to success in couples therapy is what happens between sessions. To that end, I work to help people develop new ways of thinking and acting into their lives that help in their transformation. Learning to understand the emotional aspect of interaction is also very important. I push couples pretty hard, but also offer a lot of support.

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.
