Relationships
Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Relationships can become caught in patterns that neither person intends, yet both find difficult to change. I help couples slow these interactions enough to understand what each partner needs, fears, or longs for, and how those experiences enter the relationship. The work supports a fuller capacity to hear one another, address difficulties, and develop closeness.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Humans are hardwired for connection. We hope to be fully seen, understood, and accepted by those closest to us. And yet oftentimes our connections falter. Whether you are looking to address those seemingly unsolvable issues, mend past relational injuries, or strengthen your current bond, couples therapy offers a space fully dedicated to deepening your understanding of your relationship and each other. Our meaningful relationships are always worthy of time and attention.

Beth Janis
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Communication difficulties are often at the center of relational conflict; partners and family members may feel missed, disconnected, unheard, and misunderstood. Couples sessions are geared toward reworking the communication and interaction patterns that may have become ingrained in your partnership or family unit - to assist in rebuilding trust, connection, and cohesion. Learning about ourselves, the ways we show up in our relationships, and our response tendencies can shed important light on these patterns, the relational needs that are unmet within them, and ways to step outside of them. One of the most important first steps in our work together is to begin seeing these overarching patterns as the reasons for pain, rather than treating the pain as being the fault of an individual partner or family member.

Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
I work with couples who want real change, not quick fixes that drop off after a few weeks. You want enduring change that fills you with deep satisfaction and abundant joy. One of my superpowers is to understand each side and help you find unique solutions for complex problems. Whether you're navigating burnout, neurodiverse differences, or a long list of unresolved hurts, we’ll work together to create a relationship that fits who you are now and for your future.

Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with couples using Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT). IBCT focuses on the real pattern a couple gets stuck in, not just surface-level communication tips, and builds both understanding and concrete change around it. I work with couples navigating recurring conflict, disconnection, infidelity, and major life decisions together.
