Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Couples Counseling Center
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPC
You’re smart, capable, and committed but... your relationship still feels harder than it should. You want to stop having the same old disagreements and feel close again. You long for connection, affection, and ease, but you’re not sure how to get there from here.
That’s where couples therapy can help.
Imagine finally getting unstuck and repairing old hurts. Picture saying things in a way so your partner actually hears you. You CAN build a relationship that feels safe, playful, passionate, and grounded in mutual respect. This isn’t a fantasy. It’s the outcome of doing the right kind of work, with the right kind of support.
I work with couples who love each other but are caught in painful cycles. Whether you’re high-achieving professionals with no time for each other, navigating neurodiversity in your relationship, recovering from betrayal, or just longing for more intimacy and connection, I can help. My approach is structured, creative, and grounded in years of experience helping couples rebuild, reconnect, and reimagine what’s possible.
You don’t have to settle for a relationship that just “looks good on paper.”

Andrea Meier, LLC | Holistic Wellness Collective
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., LPC, LAC
Welcome! My passion is supporting and guiding individuals, couples and families overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, addictions and relational challenges so that they can heal from what is keeping them stuck, find calm and peace in the present and build confidence in the future. I specialize in offering holistic, integrative and evidence-based approaches, including EMDR, IFS, CBT, Somatic, KAP and Gottman. My clients find that they feel comfortable, trusting and relaxed with me allowing them to work more deeply. I'm a real person with personal and professional expertise that brings compassion, flexibility and humor, when appropriate.
With 25 years of experience, I have found personalized, integrative approaches to be most effective, helping clients get unstuck from points they've hit in months or years of previous talk therapy or self-help. I bring this expertise to my holistic wellness collective where our holistic therapists specialize in targeting anxiety, trauma and relationships.
I would be happy to chat to learn more about your personal goals. I encourage you to trust yourself as you explore who feels like a good fit. If you are interested in working with me or a therapist at the Collective (varying rates by therapist and approach), please reach out to set up a free consultation. We would be thrilled to welcome you!

Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Deborah Hahn
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I work with adults who want more than short-term coping strategies—they want to understand themselves more deeply and live with greater clarity, intention, and alignment. Many of the people I see are thoughtful and capable but feel stuck in repeating patterns, carrying unresolved trauma, or navigating complicated relational dynamics that are difficult to untangle alone.
My approach to therapy is both relational and active. Together we explore the connections between past experiences, present stressors, and the ways your nervous system and relationships have adapted over time. I integrate practical tools with deeper insight work so therapy becomes a place not only to talk, but to make meaningful change.
I have particular interest in working with complex trauma, narcissistic abuse, religious or spiritual harm, and the unique challenges faced by helping professionals and leaders who are used to supporting others but rarely have space to process their own experiences.
For clients who find movement helpful in the healing process, I also offer walk-and-talk sessions as an option alongside traditional office or telehealth therapy.
Whether you are seeking clarity after a difficult relationship, healing from trauma, navigating questions of identity or faith, or simply trying to understand why certain patterns keep repeating, therapy can be a place to move forward with greater confidence and direction.
