Nikita Pion-Klockner, Holistic Therapy, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, LCSW-C
Relationships can become strained by miscommunication, unmet needs, trauma, or the stress of everyday life. I work with couples to strengthen emotional connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust, helping partners feel heard, valued, and more deeply connected.
I provide virtual couples therapy through secure video sessions and work with partners in both traditional and nontraditional relationships. Together, we focus on building mutual understanding, respect, and emotional safety so you can cultivate the healthy, emotionally intelligent relationship you both deserve.

My approach to marry counseling therapy is through an emotionally focused practice. It brings couples together in a way they can connect intimately and get back to their roots of what was so interesting in the beginning of their relationship.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
I offer strengths-based, topic-focused therapy for couples with a generally stable relationship foundation. This work can help partners understand one another more deeply, communicate more clearly about the topic, prepare thoughtfully for challenges, and approach important decisions with greater intentionality. Although I remain attentive to the broader context of your relationship, the specific area bringing you to therapy will remain the primary focus. If you are seeking therapy centered on the relationship as a whole or on concerns spanning multiple areas, comprehensive couples therapy with another provider may be a better fit.
My couples work is limited to three areas:
**Pre-marital or pre-commitment therapy** offers a guided, semi-structured opportunity to prepare for a life together. We may explore communication and conflict, trust and commitment, intimacy, values and expectations, identities and cultures, family and community, finances, careers, work-life balance, and your shared goals and vision for the relationship.
**Financial therapy for couples** focuses on the psychological, emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions of money. Our work may involve understanding each partner’s money history and beliefs, communicating more openly about finances, navigating differences in values or risk tolerance, addressing financial anxiety or avoidance, and approaching shared decisions more collaboratively and intentionally. This service is psychotherapy rather than financial planning or advising.
**LGBTQ+ family-building therapy for couples** supports partners who share a commitment to pursuing parenthood and want help choosing among or navigating possible paths to building their family. This may include assisted reproduction, surrogacy or gestational carrier arrangements, adoption, or other paths to parenthood. Therapy can help you clarify values and priorities, communicate about genetic or gestational connections and family roles, manage medical, legal, logistical, emotional, and financial demands, and navigate uncertainty or setbacks together. This is not discernment therapy focused on whether to become parents.
Across all three services, the goal is to help you engage the topic as a team while making room for each partner’s experiences, needs, values, identities, and perspectives.

Meghan McGinn
Psychologist, PhD
By the time they show up in my virtual office, many neurodiverse couples have had previous couple therapy experiences that did not go well, and are feeling increasingly stuck and hopeless about reconnecting in their relationship. If you are navigating ADHD, Autism, OCD, or other forms of neurodivergence in your relationship, you need an experienced couple therapist with a profound understanding of both the strengths and challenges of having brain-based differences, and how these differences can impact communication, energy management, nervous system activation, intimacy, and more. I would love to help you chart a different path for your neurodiverse relationship that allows you to interact with greater ease and connect more authentically.

Ayden Ferstenberg
Psychologist, PsyD
Do you and your partner keep having the same argument, even though you've discussed it countless times and understand each other's perspectives? Perhaps one of you pursues conversation while the other withdraws, small disagreements become major ruptures, or resentment and distance have gradually replaced the closeness you once felt. I help couples look beneath the surface of these recurring patterns to understand the emotions, needs, and protective reactions that keep both partners stuck. Alongside developing practical communication and repair skills, we work toward helping you map out the cycles that keep you stuck and creating new relationship dances that bring you the connection, playfulness, and intimacy you want.
