Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Relationship and marriage counseling is not just for couples in crisis — it is for any two people who want to communicate better, reconnect more deeply, and build a stronger foundation before small problems become significant ones. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I work with couples navigating communication breakdown, emotional disconnection, trust issues, conflict resolution, intimacy challenges, and marriage counseling after infidelity. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and evidence-based couples therapy techniques, I help partners break reactive cycles and rebuild the relationship they actually want. Telehealth couples therapy available across 40+ states.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with couples at all stages of their relationships, from those looking to deepen connection to those navigating significant strain or considering major decisions about the future. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and profoundly challenging, and many couples find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or recurring conflict.
My approach is active, direct, and grounded in helping both partners better understand not only each other, but their own contributions to the dynamic. I focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering greater emotional awareness and accountability within the relationship.
I also draw from structured approaches, including discernment counseling when one partner feels uncertain about whether to stay or leave, creating space for thoughtful, intentional decision-making.
The goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help couples build more meaningful, resilient, and satisfying ways of relating—whether that leads to strengthening the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps.

Natalie Campbell
Psychologist, PsyD; LLC
I love working with couples! In coupleship, I believe you need a large assortment of interventions to accomodate all the different personalities, but the one thing that remains consistent is 'Effective Communication.' LEARNING how to LISTEN, convey feelings, validate, and empathize. I use a combination of Imago, Emotional Focus Therapy, and some of the wonderful skills taught by the Gottmans.

Donald Glenn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, NCC
I see a large number of clients for relationship counseling, from traditional to non-traditional relationships. In seeking a couple's counselor, it is important to work with someone experienced in this work. I utilize specialty techniques devised for relational counseling, including Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman techniques. My work with couples involves each member of the relationship understanding themselves as well as their partner(s) better, including how and why they communicate the way they do. Communication skills and conflict resolution are central to the work I do with relationship therapy.

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.
