Salutaris Psychotherapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Relationship counseling can help you better understand the patterns that keep showing up in your connections with others—whether that involves communication struggles, conflict, emotional distance, infidelity, trust issues, unhealthy boundaries, or feeling stuck in the same painful cycle. In therapy, I help clients slow things down, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, and find healthier ways to express needs, manage conflict, and reconnect with their values. My style is warm, practical, sometimes humorous, and grounded in real life. Together, we work toward more honest communication, clearer boundaries, and relationships that feel more respectful, balanced, and emotionally safe.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.

Jennifer Pinkerton
Therapist, M.S., LMFT, CTP, C-PD
Relationships are difficult. Often unmet needs can be the foundational concern with no way of reaching the understanding level of the other partner. Additionally attachment concerns and generational influences can affect how you function in a relationship. Therapy can allow for an awareness as well as constructive tools to allow for less reactive cycles and de-eslacated conflict with a focus on primary emotions and connection.

Claire Cooper
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
In marriage and relationship counseling, I work with couples to create a safe space where both partners can openly express their feelings and concerns. Together, we’ll explore the underlying issues affecting your relationship, such as communication patterns, emotional needs, and unresolved conflicts. Using approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment-based models, we’ll work to strengthen your connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust, helping you navigate challenges and create a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.

Marriage and relationship counseling is one of my specialties. I utilize the Gottman Method regarding communication to assist couples. We also examine how our family systems (parents, siblings, grandparents) affect relationships.

Jill Wiseman
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC-S
Relationships can become strained when stress, misunderstandings, or unresolved hurt accumulate over time. Many couples find themselves repeating the same arguments, feeling unheard, or gradually growing more disconnected despite caring deeply about each other.
In couples therapy, I help committed partners slow down reactive patterns, improve communication, and better understand each other’s perspectives and emotional needs. Together we work on developing healthier ways of navigating conflict, strengthening emotional connection, and rebuilding trust when relationships feel stuck. Usually this includes skill building in the areas of emotional intelligence, communication, problem solving, perspective taking and conflict resolution.
Infidelity and abusive relationships are not in my scope of training and practice, so I would refer those situations to other professionals.
