Daniel Kessler
Psychologist, PsyD., LP. DBSM
Dr. Kessler helps couples improve their communication, resolve conflict, and build stronger relationships. With over 25 years of experience working with couples, he uses a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Gottman therapy. He can help couples with a variety of concerns related to communication issues, sexuality and intimacy, extended families, parenting and blended families.
The most effective way to help couples is to create a safe and supportive space where they can feel comfortable talking about their challenges, focusing on improving communication and understanding. Therapy will help couples to identify and address the underlying issues in their relationship, and develop the skills they need to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Relationships are hard, and asking for help is not a sign that something is broken beyond repair. It is usually a sign that you still care. I work with couples who are trying to reconnect, recover, or simply understand each other better. We will look honestly at what is happening between you and figure out where to go from there.

Christina Duncan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Relationships can feel overwhelming when communication breaks down or patterns keep repeating. I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space to help couples slow down, better understand one another, and rebuild connection. Using evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and family systems work, I help partners improve communication, manage emotional reactivity, and create healthier, more secure relationships. I have experience working with couples navigating anxiety, ADHD, autism, and life transitions, and I bring a warm, flexible approach to each session. Together, we’ll work toward greater clarity, trust, and connection.

Dr Laura Soden
Psychologist, PhD, Clinical Psychology
Too often even people who are successful and effective professionally struggle with relationships, particularly intimate relationships. The prerequisite is to develop a positive relationship with oneself... only a "whole" person will be able to connect with another whole person. But it is within relationship that we learn and improve that self-relationship, making couples' therapy a fortuitous simultaneous format for improving inner and external relationships. The process begins with remembering positive events and feelings that brought the couple together originally, turns to listening skills, tolerating vulnerability, and admitting fault. Throughout, defenses, prior relationships, and internal barriers are examined in session with the partner. Harrowing work at times, but ultimately so very rewarding in enabling greater openness and intimacy.

Melissa Klass M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Before, during, after a marriage. What couple doesn't benefit from a little tune up now and again? Is it communication? How can we express ourselves authentically without letting our trauma get in the way? Are we actually listening? Communication is a set of skills that can be learned, honed, and practiced over time. It is not the magic cure to all that ails, but it is a helpful first step. When a couple is able to communicate effectively they are able to deepen their exploration of each other and start to connect and heal in meaningful ways.
