Ellen S Leventhal
Marriage and Family Therapist, MEd, MA, LMFT
We all know romantic relationships are hard work. Like cars, they require regular maintenance to keep them running well. If there is a problem, it’s best to have it repaired right away to avoid further complications down the road.
Often we can do some of the basic maintenance and repairs ourselves. Other times, despite our best efforts, we need to rely on a professional to take a look and give us a hand.
It is interesting how easily and quickly we take such steps to repair or prevent damage to our vehicles. But when it comes to our relationships, we often avoid taking action until the situation has become much more serious.
Unfortunately, many couples try couples therapy when a significant amount of damage has already been done. Maladaptive relational patterns have become entrenched, the emotional bond between partners has been severely weakened and there is a high level of resentment due to unresolved past conflicts.

Valentina Verani, LMHC
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Relationships don't break down because couples stop loving each other—they often struggle because they stop feeling heard, understood, and emotionally connected. Using principles from Imago Relationship Therapy and Gottman-informed interventions, I help couples slow down, set aside defensiveness, and learn to truly listen to one another. Through deeper understanding and healthier communication, couples can begin to rebuild trust, strengthen emotional intimacy, and reconnect in meaningful ways.
Whether you're navigating ongoing conflict, recovering from infidelity, feeling disconnected, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship, therapy provides a space to better understand one another and determine the healthiest path forward together.
**Relationship counseling is offered as a private-pay service only and is not billed through insurance. Fee: $325 per 60-minute session.**

Dawn McCarthy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
When a relationship is struggling, it can feel like you and your partner are trapped in the exact same argument over and over again, leaving both of you feeling lonely, frustrated, and misunderstood. I specialize in helping couples break out of these destructive communication ruts and rediscover a sense of warmth, safety, and mutual respect. Utilizing the evidence-based Gottman Method Couples Therapy, I provide concrete, practical tools to help you manage conflict constructively, rebuild emotional intimacy, and deepen your friendship. Additionally, my background in trauma and Internal Family Systems (IFS) allows us to compassionately look at how individual past wounds might be showing up in your marriage today. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, recovering from a breach of trust, or simply want to strengthen your bond, we will work together to build a resilient, lasting partnership.
