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.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed therapy for relationship issues, including communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, trust concerns, recurring conflict, and difficulty maintaining healthy and fulfilling partnerships. Relationship challenges can affect emotional well-being, daily stress levels, family dynamics, and overall quality of life, often leaving individuals or couples feeling stuck, misunderstood, or disconnected.
Brad takes a holistic and collaborative approach to relationship counseling, helping clients identify and understand the emotional patterns, attachment styles, and past experiences that may be contributing to current relationship difficulties. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore both present-day challenges and underlying relational or trauma-related factors that may be influencing how partners connect, communicate, and respond to one another.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to support healing and healthier relationship functioning. Treatment focuses on improving communication, strengthening emotional awareness, reducing reactivity, and developing more secure and supportive relational patterns.
Relationship difficulties are often influenced by deeper emotional experiences, including past trauma, attachment wounds, family-of-origin dynamics, and individual personality differences. Brad’s approach helps clients understand these deeper influences while also focusing on practical, present-day changes that improve connection, trust, and emotional safety.
Therapy is tailored to each individual or couple’s needs and is designed to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where both partners (when applicable) can feel heard and understood. The goal is to support meaningful, lasting change rather than temporary conflict resolution.
Healing and growth in relationships are possible. With the right support, clients can rebuild trust, improve communication, and create healthier, more balanced, and more fulfilling relationships.

Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, MA, CPRS
Marriage is God’s first covenant with man, but it can come with its own set of challenges. Knowing God’s will for marriage can help bring harmony into the relationship. Having a toolbox to use can be invaluable to couples.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Strong relationships aren’t built on perfection — they’re built on honesty, grace, and growth. Marriage isn’t about finding someone who completes you, but walking beside someone who inspires you to become whole. Real love requires forgiveness, communication, and a shared commitment to healing, even when it’s hard. With faith as the foundation, couples can restore trust, deepen intimacy, and rediscover joy. Love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a daily choice to honor, listen, and grow together. When two hearts surrender pride and choose purpose, marriage becomes what God intended — a partnership of strength, unity, and unconditional love.
