Marriage and Family Therapist, Larry Baumgartner, LMFT
SOLUTIONS for Relationship and Marriage Counseling in Minnesota & Florida. At a crossroads? Unsure how this relationship changed and more importantly how you can get back to that feeling that brought you two together in the first place? What made this relationship work back then was that you were a priority for each other, you listened to each other, you felt loved and/or you did things that you enjoyed together. You knew your partner had your back. You supported each other in this life you created as a couple. For one reason or another it seems now like you two are just ‘there’. You sit in the same room but on opposite sides, only having surface level talk. You are even uncertain what to talk about because it just might end in yet another argument. You feel so disconnected, hurt, lonely, maybe even depressed, or anxious. There hasn’t been affection for weeks and even longer since sex. You long for them to reach for you, touch, and fulfill your needs, wants and desires. Sometimes things in life can get in the way of a great relationship. But you know this is a relationship you want to continue in, still be with this person and reconnect in a way that has been missing for a long time. I want to be clear with you on this very important fact. There is HOPE and I can help. I have been helping people reconnect, rebuild and restore their relationships for nearly a decade. We will identify what is right between you two and build a new future from there. There is no other Therapist that works the way I do with relationships. Whether you are just dating, engaged, in a polyamorous relationship, have been married for 30-40 years or anything in between, my Solution Focused Talk Therapy approach helps couples+ gain that connection again. Let's start talking SOLUTIONS!

Mike Kosim
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
If you're looking for a better way of relating, either through couples work or individually, I can help. If you and your spouse /partner are looking back and seeing a repeating cycle of negativity, I help with Emotionally Focused Counseling for couples (EFT-c). If there's been infidelity and I can help with Affair Recovery - a specific process prior to the start of couples or marriage counseling. If you are at the brink of your relationship, I can help them with discernment counseling. Discernment helps couples clarify if they want to go one of three directions: keep everything the same, amicably break up, or dedicating the next 6 months to working on the relationship through couples or marriage counseling. DIscernment really strives to just help that clarity.
If you are an individual who wants to do your relationship differently, but either are in between relationships, or have an unwilling spouse or partner, I help in the following ways:
1. Really understand the root cause of the conflict or growing apart in the relationship.
2. Possibly do trauma work around those root causes using EMDR, Guided meditation, and family of origin work.
3. Understand how to communicate what you understand about your partner's or spouse's experience that may be helpful in healing.
4. Invite your partner into couples counseling.

Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee and credentialed in Ireland
A great number of marriages can be saved by the couple or even one of the relationship going to therapy. We bring allot of history into all of our relationships and that needs to be sorted out. We need to work on the communication patterns, behavioral patterns and learn to be interacting in a productive way. There is a challenge to learning to disagree in a healthy way and have the trust that you can be honest with your partner without fearing the relationship will suffer.
