Mathews Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMFT, LPC
Couples always have their ups and downs. Bouncing back from the downs often becomes a challenge. You and your partner may be stuck in a rut, repeating the same dance over and over again, unable to break free no matter what you try. Your relationship can feel like you or your partner lost your authentic self, unable to deal with the life changes you are facing. Our job is to make sure each individual feels heard and their opinion validated. We work to increase your understanding of your partner and their understanding of you. We then create custom strategies relevant to who you are as a couple and the strength you possess. Your relationship matters and it's worth the time it takes to make it great. It is our job to help you get there.

Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies
Psychologist, Ed.D., ABPP
Relationship counseling is a significant part my practice but in a unique way. I often work with one partner as the other either doesn't believe THEY have a problem or simply refuse to participate in relationship counseling. Based in part on my training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with many years of experience, I am often able to improve the relationship by working with the "willing partner". Sometimes this involves working on improving communication skills and or assertiveness. Other times, it may involve teaching behavior modification such as using social or tangible ways that improve receptiveness and cooperation over time. In other situations, it can involve helping client recognize how they may be inadvertently contributing to the kind of behavior they don't like. Almost always it involves a degree of helping the client accept the things they can't change and modify their own beliefs and self talk. My motto is "we do more than listen". Teaching clients new attitudes and strategies to improve their relationships is a very gratifying part of my work with clients.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Relationships are often where our deepest patterns show up—how we communicate, how we handle conflict, how we give and receive care, and how we navigate closeness and space. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in repeated arguments, trying to rebuild trust, or wanting to strengthen an already solid relationship, it can be hard to step outside of the patterns you’re in. Add in cultural expectations about what relationships “should” look like, and it can get even harder to figure out what actually works for you.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships. We work with you (and your partner[s], if applicable) to understand the dynamics at play and actively build more effective ways of communicating, repairing, and connecting. This includes identifying patterns, strengthening emotional awareness, and creating structures that support the relationship you actually want—not just what’s been modeled or expected. We also offer pre-marital and pre–long-term commitment counseling, helping you have the conversations that matter before taking that next step.
We are explicitly affirming of diverse relationship structures, including non-monogamy and polyamory, and we are kink-affirming in our work. We understand these are not interchangeable, and we approach each with respect, clarity, and without pathologizing. This is collaborative, honest work focused on helping your relationship feel more intentional, more connected, and more aligned with your values.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach relationship and marriage counseling with a holistic and faith-centered perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide couples toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Recognizing the significance of marriage in Christian teachings, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their challenges, fostering communication and understanding. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I integrate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on marital virtues into the therapeutic process. I collaborate with couples to address specific issues, offering evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual guidance to navigate conflicts and promote relational growth. This integrated approach seeks to strengthen the marital bond, help couples align their actions with their Christian values, and foster a deeper connection that withstands the challenges of life within the context of their faith.

Janice Cuaresma
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, LCMHCA, NCC
I exclusively use the Gottman Method when working with couples. The initial intake with the couple together and with each individual separately allows me to learn about the current dynamics of the relationship and past experiences that each person brings. Couples learn proven methods to work through healthy arguments, communicate better, develop intimacy, and rebuild trust within the relationship.

Cary is one of the most affluent suburbs in the Research Triangle, home to a high concentration of technology and pharmaceutical workers drawn by employers like SAS Institute and the broader Research Triangle Park economy, and the city's mental health landscape is shaped by the particular stresses of high-achievement professional culture and a large transplant population navigating relocation. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, perfectionism, work-life balance, relationship difficulties, and the identity challenges of building a life in a community where many residents are far from extended family and long-term social networks. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Cary, and the proximity to Raleigh's larger market gives residents access to a wide range of specialties and modalities. The city's highly educated and professionally successful population tends toward an open and pragmatic attitude toward therapy.
