Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
When couples come to me, they're often stuck in a loop: the same argument, the same hurt, the same retreat to separate corners. I use the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), which I trained in directly under its founder, Dr. Stan Tatkin. We work with what happens between you in real time, so you learn how to calm each other, repair faster, and feel like a team again. I work with dating, engaged, married, and blended-family couples, and I welcome every orientation and relationship structure.

Debbie Allen, A Safe Place To Share
Life Coach, Certified Betrayal Trauma & Sex/Porn Addiction Coach, Certified Trauma Healing Coach, IITAP, ADOH
Relationships can be deeply impacted by infidelity, betrayal, pornography, sex addiction, compulsive sexual behaviors, emotional disconnection, and loss of trust. I help couples navigate these difficult relationship challenges through confidential, compassionate, and nonjudgmental marriage and couples support
My work includes infidelity recovery, betrayal recovery, betrayal trauma, trust issues, intimacy problems, sexual relationship concerns, pornography use, porn addiction, sex addiction, and problematic or compulsive sexual behaviors. Whether you are trying to save your marriage after an affair, rebuild trust following betrayal, or address the impact of pornography or sexual compulsivity, A Safe Place To Share provides a structured space to understand what happened and determine how to move forward.
For couples affected by infidelity or betrayal, we can address anger, grief, anxiety, insecurity, shame, resentment, loss of trust, and the challenges of restoring emotional and physical intimacy. When porn addiction, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior affects a relationship, both partners may need support, the partner struggling with the behavior may experience shame, secrecy, and guilt, while the betrayed partner may experience trauma, emotional distress, loss of safety, and difficulty trusting again.
Together, we can work toward rebuilding trust, improving communication, repairing emotional and physical intimacy, establishing healthy boundaries, understanding relationship patterns, and creating meaningful change. My goal is to help couples create relationships that are healthier, safer, more honest, and more connected.
If your marriage or relationship has been affected by an affair, infidelity, betrayal, pornography, sex addiction, or compulsive sexual behavior, A Safe Place To Share can help you understand the path forward and determine what healing and a healthier relationship can look like.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with couples at all stages of their relationships, from those looking to deepen connection to those navigating significant strain or considering major decisions about the future. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and profoundly challenging, and many couples find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or recurring conflict.
My approach is active, direct, and grounded in helping both partners better understand not only each other, but their own contributions to the dynamic. I focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering greater emotional awareness and accountability within the relationship.
I also draw from structured approaches, including discernment counseling when one partner feels uncertain about whether to stay or leave, creating space for thoughtful, intentional decision-making.
The goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help couples build more meaningful, resilient, and satisfying ways of relating—whether that leads to strengthening the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps.

Dr. Stéphanie Gamache, PhD
Hypnotherapist, PhD
Relationship and marriage counseling addresses patterns of connection, conflict, intimacy, and emotional closeness between partners. My work integrates psychoanalytic and relational approaches to explore how early attachment patterns shape adult partnerships. Together, couples develop deeper understanding, communication, and emotional presence with one another.
