Cindy Yu

As a marriage and family therapist, I am well-trained and experienced in finding commonalities and resolutions between couples. My goal is to help couples understand the misunderstood, speak the unspoken, improve communication, and discover hope from hopelessness.

Relationships
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. One of the most important is: 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?
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."
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). Unless each partner believes that the other one is committed, they will not feel safe to take risks in facing, addressing and working out the real, underlying issues that affect the relationship.

The Caruso Wellness Center PLLC
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, MART, MA, ALMFT
Healthy relationships don’t happen by accident—they are built through understanding, communication, and mutual respect. In couples and marriage counseling, I use an Adlerian approach to help partners move away from blame and disconnection toward encouragement, teamwork, and emotional closeness. Together, we explore patterns that create conflict while strengthening the skills needed for trust, intimacy, and cooperation. My goal is to help couples reconnect, repair ruptures, and create a more supportive and meaningful partnership that can grow over time.

Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I specialize in couples and relationship counseling and have worked with couples of all walks of life. We all know that relationships take some hard work sometimes to make sure we have a happy fullfilling relationship. Sometimes partners can resolve difficulties that arise on their own. But, sometimes, partners can get stuck in certain issues when regular resolution strategies they tend to use just are not working. Also, our lives are often in an ever changing state where new or different needs may come up for one or both partners. I work with couples, polycules, and all different structures of relationship and work from an integrative lens as every couple is unique and we may need to adjust the approach to help. I do however work a lot from Gottman therapy and also emotion focused therapy with my couples. Just a few more things... I'm poly-competent, trauma informed, kink affirming, and welcome all types of relationships.

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.
