Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Relationship difficulties often involve more than communication alone. You may repeatedly choose unavailable partners, withdraw when someone gets close, become anxious when a relationship feels uncertain, avoid conflict, struggle to express your needs, or feel lonely even while partnered.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how childhood relationships, past rejection, family dynamics, and early beliefs about love and security continue to influence the way you connect with others. Understanding these patterns can help you recognize why certain relationships feel familiar, even when they are unhealthy or unfulfilling.
I also use CBT to help you examine assumptions about rejection, abandonment, trust, and self-worth. We may identify distorted thoughts, consider alternative interpretations, and work on responding to relationship stress with greater clarity rather than reacting from fear or past pain.
Therapy with me is honest and collaborative. I will validate your experience, but I may also gently challenge patterns that are contributing to conflict or disconnection. When appropriate, I may suggest behavioral missions, such as expressing a need directly, setting a boundary, initiating a difficult conversation, tolerating uncertainty, or allowing yourself to be more emotionally open.
My goal is to help you develop healthier relationship patterns, communicate more confidently, and become more comfortable with closeness, vulnerability, and conflict. Whether you are dating, partnered, recovering from a breakup, or trying to build more meaningful friendships, we can work toward relationships that feel more secure, mutual, and fulfilling.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Humans are hardwired for connection. We hope to be fully seen, understood, and accepted by those closest to us. And yet oftentimes our connections falter. Whether you are looking to address those seemingly unsolvable issues, mend past relational injuries, or strengthen your current bond, couples therapy offers a space fully dedicated to deepening your understanding of your relationship and each other. Our meaningful relationships are always worthy of time and attention.

Gary Ashley
Therapist, LMHCA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate
Relationships can get stuck in the same arguments, shutdowns, or misunderstandings even when both people want things to be different. I work with couples to slow those patterns down, understand what is happening underneath them, and pay attention to how each partner responds when tension rises. My work is Gottman-informed and may focus on communication, trust, emotional connection, conflict, and creating more effective ways of relating to one another.
