Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.
