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.

Online Therapy for Anxiety, Burnout & Life Transitions -AZ, IL, OH
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCPC
Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of connection and also one of our greatest sources of pain. I help couples and individuals navigate communication breakdowns, emotional distance, conflict cycles, infidelity, and the stressors that come with major life transitions. Using evidence‑based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, we work to rebuild trust, strengthen emotional intimacy, and create healthier patterns of connection. For clients who desire it, I also integrate Christian‑based guidance to support healing, forgiveness, and values‑aligned decision‑making. Whether you’re repairing, rebuilding, or discerning your next steps, therapy offers a grounded space to move forward with clarity and compassion.

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.
