Mariana Carabantes, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Couples argue about many things, and it's normal to have disagreements. What you do at those times will determine whether your relationship will survive. Learning how to communicate effectively, from a position of love and respect, is my main focus when working with couples.

Dr. Ryan Kitts Schallon
Psychologist, PsyD
Most couples arrive in therapy having the same argument they have been having for years, each convinced the other refuses to understand. They are usually both right. The impasse is not a failure of communication. It is the place where two differently organized selves meet and cannot find each other. The work is not about compromise or learning to fight fairly. It is about each person becoming visible to the other in a way that the relationship, up to now, has not been able to hold.

Renee Woodall
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can bring deep comfort—and deep challenge. Many couples come to therapy feeling distant, misunderstood, or caught in repeating patterns that leave them both feeling frustrated and alone. In therapy, we’ll create space for each partner to be heard and understood. You’ll learn to recognize unproductive cycles, communicate more effectively, and respond to each other with honesty and care. Whether you’re rebuilding after years of strain, adjusting to life changes like empty nest or retirement, or simply wanting to reconnect, couples therapy can help you strengthen your relationship and rediscover a sense of partnership, respect, and closeness.

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.
