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. I look at the CORE issues in the relationship struggle which supercedes ineffective communication skills.

Tim Jenkins
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.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
As a psychotherapist, I incorporate structural family therapy to work with couples by focusing on the underlying structures and dynamics within their relationship. This approach allows us to identify and address patterns that may be causing conflict or dissatisfaction. I help couples map out their current relational patterns, including boundaries and roles, and work together to reorganize these structures in a way that promotes healthier interactions. Through structured interventions, we explore how these dynamics impact their connection and communication. My goal is to empower couples to establish more effective and balanced ways of relating to one another, enhancing their overall relationship satisfaction and fostering a more supportive and cohesive partnership.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
TL;DR: Michael focuses on shifting couples from defensive "blame cycles" to a deeper, relational understanding that addresses the root causes of conflict and disconnect.
Relationship distress often feels like a repetitive loop of the same argument, where both partners feel unheard and defensive. With over 35 years of experience, Michael helps couples move beyond surface-level communication tips to examine the underlying "relational scripts" and attachment patterns that drive conflict. By utilizing a developmental psychodynamic model, he works with you to identify how individual histories influence current dynamics, helping to transform reactive patterns into meaningful connection. Whether you are navigating a major crisis, a transition like retirement, or a persistent sense of distance, the goal is to build a partnership rooted in mutual understanding, shared purpose, and lasting intimacy.
