Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Morgan Desai
Pre-Licensed Professional, LMFTA
It doesn't matter how long you've been together, every couple experiences their ups and downs and sometimes needs a little extra support. Couples often face challenges with communication, unresolved conflicts, and stress from life events (parenting decisions, career changes, losing loved ones, etc.). On top of that, blending families and navigating differing cultural backgrounds can also add complexity to relationships.
We all have perspectives and experiences that we bring with us to our relationships and sometimes it can be challenging to express our thoughts and needs to our partners. In couple's therapy, we'll work together to identify cycles contributing to tension and conflict, strengthen positive and healthy communication, foster connection, and rebuild trust.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Relationships often bring both deep connection and deep activation. Even in loving partnerships, it is common for couples to find themselves stuck in repeating patterns of conflict, distance, miscommunication, or emotional disconnection that can feel difficult to shift on their own.
In therapy, we slow down these patterns and begin to understand what is happening beneath the surface of interaction. From a psychodynamic and attachment-based perspective, we explore how each partner’s early relational experiences, protective strategies, and emotional needs are shaping the dynamic in the present.
Rather than focusing only on communication skills or surface-level conflict resolution, this work supports a deeper understanding of the emotional cycles that keep couples stuck — including pursuit and withdrawal patterns, sensitivity to rejection, shutdown responses, and unmet needs for safety, closeness, and autonomy.
Using a trauma-informed and Focusing-Oriented approach, we also pay attention to the body-based experience of relationship moments. The “felt sense” can reveal important information about what is happening internally during conflict or disconnection, often before it can be fully put into words. Learning to notice and stay with these internal signals can create more choice, regulation, and empathy in real time.
Therapy supports partners in developing the capacity to stay present with themselves and each other, even in moments of discomfort. This includes increasing emotional awareness, strengthening repair after conflict, and building more secure and responsive connection patterns over time.
Carey Counseling offers support for individuals navigating relational challenges as well as partners in both traditional and non-traditional relationship structures, including polyamorous and consensual non-monogamous relationships.
This work is especially supportive for couples who feel stuck in repetitive cycles, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to reconnect after rupture — and who are seeking a deeper, more embodied way of understanding and transforming their relationship patterns.

Debiruth Stanford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, CDWF, CEQP
"Relationships succeed or failure, gradually and then suddenly, one conversation at a time." Fierce Conversations/Susan Scott
Relationships of any kind depend on the quality of the conversation. No conversation. No relationship. I help you be seen and heard so that you can move into choosing the relationship you want. I work with all kinds of relationships: married, partnered, open, polyamorous, friends, parents and adult children, siblings. Even business relationships. Let me draw from the best of Gottman Technique, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Emotional Intelligence, and others to assist you in creating the right conversation and the best relationship possible.

Annie Kurz
Counselor/Therapist, M.A., M.B.A., LMHC
Ms. Kurz has been working with couples for 15 years. Typically she meets with the individual who reached out with a full session, then a separate session for the spouse and then she brings the couple in together. Some couples make significant progress in 10-12 sessions, but others continue to seek on-going support. She is well-read and practiced in Gottman Institute literature and research (John and Julie Gottman) and attended their weekend retreat years prior. Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Couple's Therapy is also a structure she follows whereby each member of the couple learn how to listen and to share so that the other hears and understands.

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Relationships can feel especially challenging when your brain works in ways that don’t quite match what others expect. At Dr. Shoup’s practice, you’ll find a therapeutic space built around how you think: full of empathy, structure, and insight. Because we understand how intense focus, rapid associations, or lingering disconnects impact connection, we tailor couples and relational work to translate misunderstandings into deeper understanding, and build communication strategies that really work for your unique style. With support built around your perspective, you can move from friction and confusion toward connection and clarity.
