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.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.
