Sharon Davern MSED, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Minnesota, Tennessee
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.

Reginald K. Riggins
Psychologist, PhD
I have a passion for relationship and marriage counseling. My approach to therapy is to view the relationship as the client. I believe if you can improve the communication and behavioral skills of each partner you can improve the relationship. The overall goal is to improve your presenting concerns but also accentuate the positives of your relationship as well.

Brent Peak
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Relationships can feel frustrating, exhausting, and lonely when you and your partner keep having the same fights, shutting down, or drifting further apart. Maybe you feel unheard, stuck in cycles of blame and defensiveness, or like roommates instead of partners. No matter how much you try to fix things, the same patterns keep repeating. When resentment builds and communication breaks down, it’s easy to wonder if things will ever change. Many couples struggle not because they don’t love each other, but because they never learned the tools to connect in a way that actually works. Traditional couples therapy can sometimes feel slow or unproductive, focusing on surface-level issues without addressing the deeper wounds driving disconnection.
That’s why I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT), a direct and results-driven approach that helps couples break toxic cycles and rebuild trust fast. Unlike traditional therapy, RLT gets to the root of the problem quickly, holding both partners accountable while teaching powerful skills for effective communication, conflict resolution, and deeper emotional connection. If your relationship needs an even more focused approach, I offer a 2-day Couples Communication Intensive, designed to help you transform your relationship in a single weekend. This immersive experience provides structured guidance, practical tools, and deep emotional repair so you don’t have to spend months in therapy waiting for change. You and your partner can learn how to truly hear each other, repair past wounds, and build a stronger, more fulfilling relationship—starting now. If you’re ready to stop feeling stuck and start reconnecting, let’s do the work together.

Rochester is a mid-sized Minnesota city whose entire character and economy are defined by the Mayo Clinic—one of the world's most famous and comprehensive medical institutions—and the mental health landscape here is unlike almost any other city of comparable size, shaped by the needs of a huge medical workforce, international patients and their families, and a community organized around the pursuit of medical excellence. Mayo Clinic's own behavioral health and psychiatry programs are among the most sophisticated in the world, and the city's medical culture creates both extraordinary resources and particular kinds of stress—caregiver burnout, compassion fatigue, the emotional weight of working with critically ill patients, and the psychological challenges of being far from home for patients receiving long-term care. A private therapy sector serves the permanent population and medical workforce, and demand for therapists who understand the specific stresses of high-performance medical careers is consistently high. Common therapy concerns include caregiver burnout and compassion fatigue, medical professional identity and well-being, patient and family adjustment during extended treatment, anxiety, and the particular loneliness of patients and families who have traveled from around the world to receive care far from their support networks.
