Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Every relationship goes through challenges, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Relationships can be affected by communication difficulties, unresolved conflict, trust issues, emotional distance, life transitions, or simply feeling disconnected from the person you once felt closest to. Counseling provides a supportive space to slow down, listen, understand one another, and work toward meaningful change.
Outpatient therapy can help couples strengthen communication, rebuild trust, navigate conflict, establish healthy boundaries, and better understand each other’s needs. Whether you’re facing a specific relationship challenge or want to strengthen an already meaningful connection, therapy can provide practical tools and compassionate guidance. The goal isn’t to decide who is right or wrong—it’s to create healthier patterns, deeper understanding, and a relationship that feels more connected and secure.

I use the Gottmann Marriage and relationship therapy. It is a guided, structured process where partners improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen emotional bonds. It focuses on identifying negative interaction patterns, rebuilding trust after issues like infidelity, and achieving shared goals through open dialogue and skill-building exercises.

Gary D. Alexander
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, MFT, NCC
Relationships can bring great meaning to our lives, but they can also become strained by conflict, miscommunication, or painful patterns that repeat over time. In therapy we explore the emotional and relational dynamics that shape these patterns, helping partners better understand both themselves and one another. As this understanding deepens, many couples begin to experience greater clarity, renewed connection, and a deeper sense of true partnership.

Grow together, not apart. Unlike traditional talk therapy, Couple's Coaching emphasizes forward momentum and tangible change. This isn't a space to endlessly process in circles. This structure helps you take daily actions to transform the patterns you've inherited so your relationship gets better and better over time.

Peaceful Warrior Wellness Services, LLC / Dr.Steven Ruiz Bettencourt, Psy.D.,LPC, Cht, EMDR
Licensed Professional Counselor, Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR
Relationship/marriage issues is a very sensitive subject. When partners are considering whether they are capable of either forgiving each other for a breaking of marital trusts, such as marital indiscretions, financial irresponsibility, gambling, addictions (drugs, alcohol, pornography, etc), and starting a new agreement, or of parting ways, it is not an easy decision to make without professional help. Sorting out delicate feelings of hurt, disappointment and betrayal will many times need to engage the help of a professional relationship therapist.

Salem is Oregon's state capital and has a large and established Spanish-speaking Latino population, particularly connected to the agricultural sector of the Willamette Valley, making bilingual Spanish and English therapy provision an important feature of the local mental health landscape. Oregon State Hospital, one of the state's primary psychiatric facilities, is based in Salem, and the city is a significant regional center for mental health services across the mid-Willamette Valley. Salem Health's behavioral health services contribute to a reasonably well-resourced local mental health infrastructure. Common therapy concerns include anxiety, depression, family and relationship issues, and the stresses of agricultural and service sector work, as well as the particular needs of a large immigrant and refugee population navigating life in a mid-sized state capital.
