Banu Ibaoglu Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, LMHC, CIRT, CCH
I am a clinical trainer and supervisor in Imago Relationship Therapy, working with couples online. Imago therapy is built on the understanding that conflict in relationships is not a sign of failure — it's a doorway into deeper connection and growth. In our sessions, we slow down the patterns that keep couples stuck and create the conditions for partners to actually hear each other, often for the first time. The work is both rigorous and tender.

This is our wheel-house and this is why we love it, because God said that our relationship with our spouse is "A blessing!". We love helping couples understand the blessing of marriage and assisting them in living to the fullest extent in this marriage.

Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC, LCMHC
Do you feel like your relationship is at a standstill? Are you and your partner stuck in the same argument loop every night? Do you feel like you and your partner are drifting away? Do you desire more intimacy between you and your partner?
All things can be improved, changed and bettered, with just a little support, no matter how big or small. With couples therapy, you’ll learn how to communicate your feelings and needs, and get what you want out of your relationship.
Some issues that bring couples to therapy are:
Addiction/Partner Addiction Support
Balance (Work/Life/Family)
Blended Families
Chronic Illness
Divorce
Extended Family
Infidelity/Cheating
Intimacy
Mental Illness
Pre-Marital/Readiness
Pornography
Sex
In my couple’s therapy sessions, I help people develop the necessary skills needed to maintain sustaining love.
If any of the above relate to your and your partner in your relationship, contact me today for a free consultation. I would love to speak about how I may be able to help reconnect and rekindle your love for one another.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
I offer strengths-based, topic-focused therapy for couples with a generally stable relationship foundation. This work can help partners understand one another more deeply, communicate more clearly about the topic, prepare thoughtfully for challenges, and approach important decisions with greater intentionality. Although I remain attentive to the broader context of your relationship, the specific area bringing you to therapy will remain the primary focus. If you are seeking therapy centered on the relationship as a whole or on concerns spanning multiple areas, comprehensive couples therapy with another provider may be a better fit.
My couples work is limited to three areas:
**Pre-marital or pre-commitment therapy** offers a guided, semi-structured opportunity to prepare for a life together. We may explore communication and conflict, trust and commitment, intimacy, values and expectations, identities and cultures, family and community, finances, careers, work-life balance, and your shared goals and vision for the relationship.
**Financial therapy for couples** focuses on the psychological, emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions of money. Our work may involve understanding each partner’s money history and beliefs, communicating more openly about finances, navigating differences in values or risk tolerance, addressing financial anxiety or avoidance, and approaching shared decisions more collaboratively and intentionally. This service is psychotherapy rather than financial planning or advising.
**LGBTQ+ family-building therapy for couples** supports partners who share a commitment to pursuing parenthood and want help choosing among or navigating possible paths to building their family. This may include assisted reproduction, surrogacy or gestational carrier arrangements, adoption, or other paths to parenthood. Therapy can help you clarify values and priorities, communicate about genetic or gestational connections and family roles, manage medical, legal, logistical, emotional, and financial demands, and navigate uncertainty or setbacks together. This is not discernment therapy focused on whether to become parents.
Across all three services, the goal is to help you engage the topic as a team while making room for each partner’s experiences, needs, values, identities, and perspectives.
