Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Shay Malone
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ed.S., Resident in Counseling
Couples often get stuck in common patterns with ineffective communication and misunderstanding. A relationship brings together two (or more) people from different backgrounds with different values and expectations and requires them to have mutual agreements. I work with couples to help them get on the same page and move forward or in some cases, move apart.

Failed or failing relationships hurt. They hurt because our hopes get dashed, our sacrifices are not appreciated and what once felt like love has become something unrecognizable. We will help you through the disappointment. Whether that means repair and reconciliation, or letting go and moving on.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an Internal Family Systems perspective, marriage counseling focuses on identifying how each partner’s protective parts interact to create negative cycles of conflict or disconnection. These parts often react to deeper vulnerable parts that carry fears of rejection, abandonment, or not being valued. Therapy helps partners access Self so they can respond with curiosity and compassion, fostering safer communication and deeper emotional connection.
