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.

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.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most couples do not come to me in a crisis. They come in tired. The same argument on a loop, the roommate feeling, the distance that crept in so slowly neither of you can name when it started. I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you get underneath the fight to what you are each actually asking for. The goal is not to win. The goal is to feel like a team again.
The best time to build a strong marriage is before you are standing in the hard part. Premarital work with me is not a box to check before the wedding. It is real conversation about money, family, faith, intimacy, and the expectations you each brought without knowing it. You will leave with a shared language for the seasons you cannot see yet.

JENNIFER ZUNDEL
Life Coach, Certified Conscious Uncoupling Coach | Certified Calling in "The One" Coach
Most of the people that come to me for Conscious Uncoupling Coaching, or Calling in "The One" Coaching say they wish they'd had these skills and practices BEFORE they got into relationship, as this material would have supported to have a very different relationship... One that could have actually WORKED OUT for them! The good news is that these programs are adaptable, and we can apply them to your marriage or current relationship, so that you can create the love you truly desire.
