Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Relationships are some of the most rewarding parts of life—but they can also bring stress, frustration, and conflict. I specialize in helping couples and partners navigate challenges such as communication difficulties, trust issues, emotional disconnection, infidelity, and differing values or expectations.
In therapy, couples gain a safe, structured space to explore underlying dynamics, improve understanding, and develop skills for healthy communication and problem-solving. My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Family Systems Theory, helping partners identify negative interaction patterns, manage emotional reactivity, and create new ways of relating that foster connection, empathy, and mutual respect.
Whether you are looking to repair a struggling relationship, navigate major life transitions together, or strengthen an already healthy partnership, therapy focuses on both insight and action—teaching practical strategies that partners can implement in daily life. I also support blended families, co-parenting couples, and couples navigating significant stressors such as relocation, career changes, or family illness.
My goal is to help couples build resilience, deepen intimacy, and create a relationship foundation that is not only functional but also fulfilling.

Dr. Brian Weir
Psychologist, PsyD
My work with couples often focuses on finding the underlying conflict and/or unmet needs that can end up festering and eroding the foundation of the relationship. I help each partner discover these needs and communicate in more accurate and productive ways. This can help each other genuinely want to understand and meet each other's needs, instead of deny/defend patterns that may exist. In cases of various forms of infidelity, after the direction and goal of therapy is explored, we may examine conditions that led to the behavior and learn from them to build a stronger and healthy relationship. Moreover, this process can help toward establishing long term forgiveness and trust. It can be surprising what is possible to overcome and how much better things can be.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Gottman method couples therapy is based on decades of research and thousands of couples. My practice utilizes evidence-based Gottman structure and guidance alongside specialized training in sexuality and relational intimacy. The most common issue couples come to therapy for is to improve their communication. Gottman method therapy therapy not only helps couples improve communication, but shows them how to navigate conflict, rebuild trust, and address concerns related to sex, desire, intimacy, and emotional closeness. Sessions have an interactive therapist and are grounded in respect, inclusivity, and an understanding that every relationship has unique needs, values, and definitions of connection. Whether couples are working through intimacy challenges, life transitions, differing desires, or communication difficulties, therapy focuses on fostering deeper understanding, safety, and connection in all aspects of the relationship.

Rachel J Fischer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
It can be hard to manage feelings that come up towards your partner, and you may find yourself feeling alone and unable to talk to others about your concerns. You may notice that you are attracted to similar types of partners, or that you have similar feelings/behaviors in relationships. Using an insight-oriented ("psychodynamic") and relational approach to therapy, I provide a warm and nonjudgmental space to explore your thoughts/feelings/experiences, and to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so that you can embrace a more fulfilling life. Please note that I only meet one-on-one with individuals to talk about their relationship issues, and don't do couples therapy.
