Relationship and Marriage Counseling
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.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Every couple faces challenges that can create distance instead of closeness, turning conversations into conflicts. I see the struggles behind silent dinners and unresolved disputes that linger like unwelcome guests. My couples therapy provides a bridge back to each other, offering tools for communication, understanding, and renewed connection in your relationship.

Dr. Desiree S. Howell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Exploring strengths and challenges using the PREPARE/ENRICH program with premarital couples can illuminate areas to celebrate and ones to nurture. Happy couples looking to improve their connection, communication style, affection, sex life, pleasure, joy, and emotional safety can also benefit greatly from counseling. I am poly, kink, ENM, and LGBTQ+ affirming.
