Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Relationships can become strained even when love is still present. You may find yourselves having the same arguments, feeling more like roommates than partners, struggling to rebuild trust, or wondering how two people who care deeply about each other became so disconnected.
I help couples move beyond cycles of blame, defensiveness, avoidance, and ineffective communication to better understand what is happening beneath the conflict. Our work focuses not only on how you communicate, but on how each partner shows up in the relationship: the patterns you bring, the needs you may struggle to express, and the ways you respond when you feel hurt, unheard, or disconnected.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and gently direct. I believe healthy relationships require both self awareness and shared responsibility. Rather than focusing only on compromise, we work toward collaboration: learning how to honor two individual experiences while building a relationship in which both partners can feel seen, valued, emotionally safe, and connected.
Whether you are navigating recurring conflict, trust concerns, infidelity, intimacy challenges, life transitions, or simply want to strengthen your connection, therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand one another differently, repair what has been hurt, and intentionally choose what comes next.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

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.

Robin Kaye Stilwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., L.M.F.T.
Whether married, engaged, dating, straight, gay, in conventional, non-conventional relationships, all relationships are important to our health and well-being. Some seek therapy as a "tune up" to tweak minor issues to prevent them from becoming major deal breakers. Some are experiencing potential "deal breakers" and may be considering ending the relationship. Often, one member of the couple is unsure how they feel and may be ambivalent as to what outcome they would like.to see. Each person has a different perspective of how the relationship feels.

I work with couples to help improve their communication so that they can better understand one another and appreciate each other's strengths and weaknesses. My goal is to create a safe place where each person is heard and validated for who they are. We explore the value that the relationship provides to each person and work to strengthen the connection by creating behaviors that join each other together.
