Merrisa Dawn Santos
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC, CCTMHP, CCTP
In therapy for relationship and marital issues, I provide support to couples to navigate challenges and strengthen their bond. This involves creating a safe and respectful space for both partners to express their feelings and concerns. Through communication exercises and conflict resolution techniques, we work on improving communication skills and addressing underlying issues. I also help couples rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and rediscover shared values and goals. The goal is to foster healthier patterns of interaction and enhance overall relationship satisfaction.

Commitments are important. Sometimes they get messy. If you are questioning your commitment to one another and need some clarity on where and how to carry on, I can help. Whether the relationship is a traditional 1:1 or a nontraditional one, I have experience in helping folks coming to a deeper understanding of their commitment of their partnerships. I can help.

Holy sh!t don't get me started. Just kidding!
Seriously, we have to come to the table on this one and just lay it all out. We need to take stock of where a couple is and where they want to be. Let's face it....most of us come together as a couple because we click sexually and it is fun to be together, during fun times. What we do not do; is spend adequate time understanding what strengths and weaknesses we have when things are not going so well.
Just know this: as a couples counselor, I am not here to take sides. There are three entities in the room. You, your spouse and that third entity, your relationship. That is the one I am on the side of. Lastly, often times when I start couples counseling, it is clear to me that one of the parties needs an individual psychotherapist to work on issues that are toxic in the relationship. Be prepared. This is an uphill battle and it takes dedication, time and commitment to change a relationship, and each individual within the relationship.

Natalie A Shafer
Counselor/Therapist, MA, NCC, LPC
Relationships and marriage can bring deep connection as well as moments of conflict, disconnection, and unmet needs. Patterns that develop over time can be hard to shift without support. Together, we explore these dynamics, improve communication, and work toward a more secure, balanced, and fulfilling way of relating to one another.
