Relationship and Marriage Counseling therapists in Pulaski, Virginia VA
Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
This is my favorite specialty. I have been working with relationships and Connect-Talk since 1974, and I wrote the first textbook on Schema Therapy with Couples, published by Wiley - Blackwell, with two of my colleagues. I train other therapists internationally in this venue, and practice it both online and in person. I have many resources on my website that can encourage you. Believe me, you haven't "tried everything", as you probably have not tried Schema Therapy and you haven't tried me! Challenge yourself to not give up and not to give in to the prevalent culture of hopelessness. There is more good that can happen than you think, and people aren't zebras. We have many, many examples of people changing their lives and their characters. But, you do really have to work at it. You and your children are worth the work and focus. Why not give this approach a try!

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.

Psychologist, PsyD., DBSM
Dr. Kessler helps couples improve their communication, resolve conflict, and build stronger relationships. With over 25 years of experience working with couples, he uses a variety of evidence-based techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and Gottman therapy. He can help couples with a variety of concerns related to communication issues, sexuality and intimacy, extended families, parenting and blended families.
The most effective way to help couples is to create a safe and supportive space where they can feel comfortable talking about their challenges, focusing on improving communication and understanding. Therapy will help couples to identify and address the underlying issues in their relationship, and develop the skills they need to communicate more effectively and resolve conflict.
