Relationships carry our deepest hopes and oldest wounds.

Rick Tivers
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CGP
Highly focused on both the individual in the marriage and the unit as a separate entity. Direct, open and honest communication is used as a mirror for healthy yet honorable communication between all parties involved.

Edward Alderson
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC; NCC
I specialize in working with clients needing relationship and marriage counseling, including both straight and LGBTQ couples. I also work with clients in open relationships and the special challenges that these relationships can present. I use an integrative approach of EFT and Gottman therapy to help client's identify, challenge, reframe, and replace ineffective attachment, communication, and conflict resolution skills. I include CBT and DBT skills for couples to help couples identify and manage both individual and their partner's negative thoughts, behaviors, and heightened emotions. I use integrated couples and sex therapy to help couples identify and manage emotional, mental, physical, and sexual intimacy issues.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
With over 25 years of experience as a couples and family therapist, I have witnessed countless marriages transform and thrive, often coming back from the brink of dissolution. The key factor that unites these couples is a shared willingness to grow rather than a stubborn willfulness. Individual growth fosters healthier functioning within the marriage, paving the way for renewed connection.
As a Gottman-trained therapist, I utilize evidence-based methods to help couples build strong foundations of friendship, intimacy, and trust. I also incorporate discernment counseling, a process designed to help couples experiencing ambivalence about their relationship. This approach allows partners to explore their feelings, identify the dynamics at play, and decide on the best path forward—whether it’s strengthening the relationship or considering separation.
I understand that many couples face complex challenges, such as infidelity, addiction, or personality disorders, which can strain relationships. However, through exploration of relational trauma and acceptance therapy, healing becomes possible. My training in Imago Relational Therapy, Gottman, Family Systems Therapy, and Complex Relational Trauma Treatment further enhances my ability to guide couples in fostering compassion, forgiveness, and understanding.
Together, we can navigate these challenges, helping you and your partner rebuild trust and understanding while creating a deeper, more fulfilling relationship. Let’s embark on this transformative journey toward lasting connection and resilience.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You keep having the same fight with different words. Or you've stopped fighting altogether, not because things are better but because you've stopped trying. The distance between you has grown so gradually you're not sure when it started, only that it's there now, undeniable. Our clinicians are trained in the Gottman Method, the most researched approach to couples therapy available. We help you identify the patterns that are eroding your connection and give you real tools to repair them. This isn't about venting at each other with a referee in the room. It's about learning to turn toward each other again. Telehealth throughout Illinois. BCBS PPO and Aetna accepted.
