Jacob Hamlin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.Ed., LMFT, CST
Relationships can become painful when couples get stuck in repeating patterns: pursue and withdraw, criticize and defend, shut down and explode, long for closeness and then protect against it. My work with couples focuses on understanding the cycle beneath the conflict, improving communication, rebuilding emotional safety, and helping partners speak more honestly about hurt, desire, resentment, trust, and hope. I help couples slow the conversation down enough to hear what is really happening underneath the argument. Whether you are trying to reconnect, make an important decision, or repair years of distance, therapy can offer a more intentional path forward.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
In my experience, there are two vital things to truly understand when a relationship is not going as you would like. First, the communication is likely not where it needs to be. The implicit has to be made explicit so that there is little or no room for misunderstandings or misinterpretations to occur. Second, needs need to be known and conveyed to one another. If needs were respected and being met, things would likely be going well. Those two principles are essential to make sense of when difficulty arises in a relationship with a significant other. If addressing both of those does not improve the dynamic, then the work becomes understanding what emotional things are getting in the way of needs being known and communicated.

Marriage & Family Counseling
Who needs marriage counseling? There's an expression "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts". Healthy individuals make up healthy families. One individual in the family affects other parts of the family - just as one affected part of our body can affect the other parts of our body. Marriage and family therapy helps to sort through the many issues families struggle with.
With so much chaos and struggle happening outside of the home, it is so important that the home be stable, safe and a "sanctuary." Does that mean perfect? No, there are no perfect families, no perfect moms, dads, brothers or sisters. Struggles and conflicts in families are normal... while families aren't perfect they can learn, grow and heal from any hurts created.
There may be a need to deal with conflict in new ways, and better understand one another. Siblings may fight and compete with one another. Spouses may struggle with shared parenting roles. Someone may feel like the black sheep or sense that treatment is favored toward one child or not strict enough for another.
Marriage problems are part of life. It is a comfort to have an unbiased objective third person in marriage counseling and family counseling to coach and encourage new patterns and different ways to work through differences. Start counseling soon and experience healthier happier relationships.
