Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Carrie Askin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Most of the couples I work with have been in couples therapy before - sometimes more than once. Couples tell me they felt as though their previous therapist took sides or that they were allowed to argue for the entire session and that by the end of the session they felt farther apart than when they started. For couples therapy to work both people need to know that they will be heard and understood and that the couples therapist will interrupt hurtful and unproductive patterns.
I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy which is a highly effective approach to helping couples to repair longstanding patterns of endless conflict, hurt and resentment, and painful disconnection.
I work with straight, same-sex, and genderqueer couples as well as with friends and siblings. k

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Dr. Cynthia Edwards-Hawver
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be searching for couples counseling to save your marriage—but what if the real answer is getting support for you?
If you’re feeling emotionally drained, constantly blamed, and unsure whether you’re the problem—or if your relationship is even salvageable—you’re not alone. Many high-achieving women I work with come in feeling depressed, disconnected, and desperate to “fix things.” They’re carrying the mental and emotional load of the entire relationship while slowly losing themselves in the process. You may be navigating gaslighting, stonewalling, emotional neglect, covert narcissistic abuse, or post-separation abuse—but because it’s subtle, no one sees it. Not even some therapists.
The truth is, traditional marriage counseling can do more harm than good when narcissistic personality traits, emotional abuse, or manipulation are involved. Most couples therapists are trained in neutrality and communication skills—not in the dynamics of control, DARVO (deny, attack, reverse victim and offender), or covert domestic violence. You might have already tried couples counseling and walked away feeling more confused, silenced, or even blamed.
That’s because in emotionally abusive relationships, you can’t heal as a couple if the abuse isn’t named—and most narcissistic or emotionally manipulative partners will never allow that to happen in front of a neutral third party.
If you’ve been searching for:
Is my relationship toxic or just hard?
Can you do marriage counseling with a narcissist?
Relationship burnout from emotional abuse
Depression in marriage
Gaslighting in couples therapy
How to co-parent with a narcissistic partner
Should I stay or leave a narcissist?
Parallel parenting after divorce
Therapist for narcissistic abuse recovery
...then you’re starting to wake up to the pattern. And that matters.
You’re not crazy. You’re not overreacting. You’re exhausted from trying to make a one-sided relationship work.
I help high-functioning women who are navigating relationship burnout, emotional abuse, and the quiet grief of being stuck in a marriage that no longer feels safe or loving. Whether you're trying to decide if there’s hope, planning your exit, or staying for now while learning how to set boundaries and protect your energy—I’m here to support you. Not as a couples therapist, but as someone who understands the unique psychology of narcissistic abuse and the slow unraveling it creates in women who’ve given their all.
This isn’t about fixing him. This is about finding you.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
I specialize in couples and relationship counseling and have worked with couples of all walks of life. We all know that relationships take some hard work sometimes to make sure we have a happy fullfilling relationship. Sometimes partners can resolve difficulties that arise on their own. But, sometimes, partners can get stuck in certain issues when regular resolution strategies they tend to use just are not working. Also, our lives are often in an ever changing state where new or different needs may come up for one or both partners. I work with couples, polycules, and all different structures of relationship and work from an integrative lens as every couple is unique and we may need to adjust the approach to help. I do however work a lot from Gottman therapy and also emotion focused therapy with my couples. Just a few more things... I'm poly-competent, trauma informed, kink affirming, and welcome all types of relationships.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Brian Swope
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships must be able to adapt to the any of the lifespan changes that are inevitable - job and financial changes, children and in-laws. The list is extensive. Relationships are different than friendships in that they require work - deepening communication, making time for intimacy and sex and managing individual growth/exploration. Doing this work without building resentment and defensive is one way that therapy supports relationships to make them more responsive to the changing needs across time.
