Aaron Goodrich
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, Level 1 IFS therapist
Marriage is the most important relationship on this planet because when marriage is healthy society is healthy. I enjoy working with marriages to help them find healing and grow emotionally together as they move towards safety and vulnerability with one another.

Gayle MacBride
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Relationships are special and take considerable work. It doesn't matter if you are seeking a therapist to help you early in your relationship before "stuff happens" or are trying to back up and address longer standing patterns, I can help you be a strong "Us". When working with relationships we are going to talk about ways to make you a team and help you improve the ways you talk with each other to increase your understanding. The Gottman's talk about "Masters" and "Disasters" - I can help you be the former.

Hope I. Hills, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist in NC, Authorized PsyPact Practitioner in 40 states
The Interpersonal Flexibility Circle is a great way to explore our relationships. Given that I developed that method, relationship counseling can take on a logic and patterns that can make more sense than in the past. It is so important to recognize how old experiences impact our present, so I will help couples to share old experiences that are impacting their current relationship. I belong to a group called Marriage Friendly Therapists. I have also been divorced, but am in a 25 year relationship now, so I am thankful for what my life experience teaches me.

Dr. Susan L. Waldo
Psychologist, PhD
One of my very favorite therapies is couples therapy. I so enjoy helping couple restore their love and relationship. I work with the couple (first) and with each individual when engaged couples work. I help each partner rediscover or get to know themselves and help them resolve pains from the past that may be negatively impacting their relationship. If either partner has suffered physical, sexual, or emotional abuse; neglect; has been a crime victim, or a victim of tragedy or natural disaster, I will help them resolve the impacts on their relationships. Work with the couple often includes work on communication, compatibility, having fun and dates, social time with others, kindnesses and responsiveness to one’s partner, level of engagement in the relationship, dependability, honesty, affection, sexual intimacy, children, finances, and in-laws. Also, any problems in the relationship are addressed including: drug/alcohol abuse, addictions of any kind (I.e. internet, sex, shopping, gambling), domestic violence (physical, sexual, or emotional), or other challenging behaviors.
