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.

Relationships are some of the most beautiful and most challenging things we will ever navigate. Even the strongest partnerships go through seasons where communication breaks down, distance creeps in, or old wounds start showing up in new arguments. That does not mean something is broken beyond repair. It often just means you both need a little help finding your way back to each other.
At CCW International, we work with couples who are ready to do the work. Whether you are navigating a specific crisis, working through years of built-up hurt, struggling with intimacy, or simply feeling disconnected from the person you chose, we meet you where you are without taking sides and without judgment.
For military couples and families, we bring a deep understanding of the unique pressures that come with the lifestyle. Deployments, frequent moves, reintegration, the invisible weight one or both partners may be carrying from their service. These are not small things. They shape relationships in profound ways, and they deserve a therapist who actually understands them.
We believe that healthy relationships do not happen by accident. They are built with intention, honesty, and the willingness to keep showing up for each other even when it is hard. We are here to help you build that foundation, or rebuild it if it needs some repair.
Your relationship is worth fighting for. Let us help you find your way back.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
As a relationship therapist, I firmly believe that close partnerships are where the most deep beautiful healing can occur AND a place where we can also get very, very hurt. I also believe strongly that so many relationships have the potential to thrive when given space, time, and a little little from a specialized professional. In my work with relationships, (both monogamous and non-monogamous), I work with clients to find their stuck spots - not just "that fight" that comes up all the time, but to the actual root cause of that fight in the first place (which is often not at all what we think it is). I guide folks through a series of education to help them understand the ways in which they are getting in their own way, followed by a series of interventions designed to help you grow in understanding of yourself and your partner(s) so that you can actually get past the blocks in your relationship, to place where you feel truly safe to be yourself. I have worked with couples/relationships that come to me for the "big things" like infidelity, life-altering decisions, and moving from monogamy to opening their relationship, as well as those who are in a good place and just looking to build better communication skills - all is welcome!
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

We are born in relationships, wounded in relationships, and also healed in relationships. Patterns are most often the problem, not people. I help clients identify their wounds and adaptations from a place of self compassion that supports change and promotes healing.
