Dr. Cathy E. Pickett
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, LCA, CCTP, NCC
Healthy relationships require communication, trust, boundaries, understanding, and a willingness to work through difficult moments. I help couples identify unhealthy patterns, improve communication, address conflict, rebuild connection, and better understand each other's needs. The goal is to create healthier and more respectful relationships.

Jonathan Schmalz
Psychologist, PhD, HSP-P
Relationships are central to knowing who we are and thus have an enormous impact on our mental health. We often downplay to ourselves that frequent or underlying problems in our relationships are "enough" to feel anxious, sad, or angry about. As a result we often misplace the source of distress solely upon personal failings. Much of my work focuses on helping you clarify what you want and need relationally, working out what is making it hard to communicate those wants and needs, and empowering you to try some new things with your loved ones.

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.

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.

Heather Avery Grant
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
My relationship work is informed by attachment theory and Emotionally Focused Therapy approaches. I have no agenda when it comes to your relationship outcomes - I'm happy to help you stay together, open up, or move apart. I bring empathy, patience, humor, respect and a little sass to your sessions in hopes that we can find the best solution for everyone involved.
