Elinor Nygren Szapiro
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA LPC, EMDR II, Brainspotting Certification, Hypnotherapy
One of our primary basic human needs is the need for connection and relationship. Research has shown that people with supportive friendships and relationships tend to live longer and be healthier. But even though relationships are so rewarding and core to our well being, they can also be some of the most challenging aspects of our life. Why are they so difficult? There are many theories about this - but, bottom line, when we become close to someone, we relax, spend more time together and "let down our hair". So it makes sense that our issues and triggers will begin to surface and not be as easy to keep under wraps. This isn't all bad, however. The flip side is that it means we feel comfortable enough with someone to "be ourselves". And it's also an opportunity to see our own issues and what gets in the way of our becoming more intimate and having a healthy connection. With the proper therapeutic guidance, it IS possible to stop these recycling issues and conflicts, resolve them at their core, and gain confidence about how to repair, reconnect and revitalize your relationship!

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.

Cook Counseling and Consulting Inc.
Counselor/Therapist, LISW-S, LCSW-QS, CCTP
Relationship and marriage counseling, or couples therapy, enhances communication, resolves conflicts, and reinforces the emotional bond between partners in a romantic relationship or marriage. Couples therapy is intended to provide a secure and supportive environment for couples to address issues, increase their mutual understanding, and work toward a healthier and more gratifying relationship.
Couples therapy is most effective when both partners are willing to actively participate and engage with an open mind and commitment to change. It provides a valuable opportunity for couples to overcome obstacles, enhance their communication, and strengthen their connection, fostering a healthier and more satisfying relationship. If you and your companion are experiencing difficulties in your relationship or marriage, a qualified couples therapist can provide invaluable support and direction.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Relationships are where most of our pain lives — and most of our growth happens. I work with individuals examining their relational patterns and with couples navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, and the slow drift that can occur even in loving relationships. My approach is honest and direct. I'm not interested in keeping the peace at the expense of the truth. I'm interested in helping people understand themselves well enough to show up differently in the relationships that matter most to them — romantic, family, or otherwise.
