Ken Aaron Burnstein
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW LCSW
I have had many years of experience working in couples therapy. My approaches includes, building communication skills, and working with the couple to reduce reactivity and defensiveness to be able for each person to listen and understand their partner in an empathetic and caring way. This helps forge a path for the couple to work together, resolve their concerns and build the love and caring back in the relationship.

Innovative Counseling Partners, LLC & Jennifer Froemel
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC
I see the therapeutic process as myself guiding my clients through difficult situations to move forward in life, and feel more energized. My clients say that I supportively nudge them along and that our therapeutic rapport is what helps them better find themselves.

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.

Teri L. Murphy
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LCPC
Marriage and Relationship counseling involves being able to engage both parties on a level where each feels understood and listen to. My advance training in the Gottman approach has been useful for my clients. I also received education in Marriage Counseling at the Chicago Institute of Psychoanalysis. The combination of the two allows me to be able to provide both in-depth and solutions focused therapy. For couples counseling to be effective, both partners need to be willing to take responsibility for their part in the problems, to accept each other's faults, and to be motivated to repair the relationship.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Relationship or marriage issues can significantly impact individuals dealing with addictions, relationship issues, or depression. For example, constant conflicts or a lack of emotional support in a relationship can worsen feelings of loneliness, low self-esteem, and emotional distress. This, in turn, may exacerbate addictive behaviors or contribute to depressive symptoms. My approach would involve providing a safe and non-judgmental space for the individual to explore their relationship challenges and their impact on their mental well-being. We would work together to identify underlying issues, improve communication skills, and develop strategies to address relationship difficulties, ultimately promoting healthier relationships and improved emotional well-being.
