Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LMSW, LPC, PLPC
We specialize in relationship and marriage counseling for couples who feel stuck in recurring arguments, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to communicate in ways that actually bring them closer. Many couples come to therapy because they love each other but feel caught in patterns of misunderstanding, defensiveness, or distance. Our approach helps partners understand the emotional cycles beneath the conflict, improve communication, and rebuild trust and connection. Using evidence-based, attachment-informed methods, we help couples move out of blame and into a deeper understanding of each other so they can feel like a team again and create a more secure, supportive relationship.

Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
I work with couples at all stages of their relationships, from those looking to deepen connection to those navigating significant strain or considering major decisions about the future. Relationships can be both deeply fulfilling and profoundly challenging, and many couples find themselves stuck in patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or recurring conflict.
My approach is active, direct, and grounded in helping both partners better understand not only each other, but their own contributions to the dynamic. I focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and fostering greater emotional awareness and accountability within the relationship.
I also draw from structured approaches, including discernment counseling when one partner feels uncertain about whether to stay or leave, creating space for thoughtful, intentional decision-making.
The goal is not simply to reduce conflict, but to help couples build more meaningful, resilient, and satisfying ways of relating—whether that leads to strengthening the relationship or gaining clarity about next steps.

Sheila Cohen Furr, PhD
Psychologist, PhD, ABN, ACP
The best of relationships has intermittent challenges and bumps in the road. Many times, if not most of the time, it is worth working hard to make it better and smooth out the bumps. Usually communication is the key, that is learning how to talk without blaming and shaming and learning how to listen and really hear what is being said without getting defensive. Hopelessness can frequently be addressed and developing reasonable expectations of yourself and your partner can lead to a very gratifying relationship. Working together can strengthen the good in the relationship and mitigate the disappointments
