Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
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.

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.

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.

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.
