Finley Anderson
Therapist, LMFT
In couples work, I help partners slow down the patterns that are keeping them stuck. We explore what’s really happening underneath the conflict: the fears, the unmet needs, the old wounds each person brings to the relationship.

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.

Mr. Robert Hirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
I have helped hundreds of couples. It is clear to me that it is not sufficient to simply want to love someone, each partner must be committed to growing and understanding themselves so that their dysfunctional patterns of communicating and living don't continue to sabotage the relationship. I help partners see themselves more clearly and find the motivation and strength to endure the difficulty of rebuilding trust and opening their hearts fully again to their partner.

Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMHC
My couples work is informed by PACT (psychobiological approach to couples therapy.) This approach takes into account developmental history, attachment, neuroscience, and object relations. It is highly interactive, and geared towards cultivating a sturdier, more secure relationship.

Marc Feinberg
Pastoral Counselor/Therapist, CBC
Strong relationships aren’t built on perfection — they’re built on honesty, grace, and growth. Marriage isn’t about finding someone who completes you, but walking beside someone who inspires you to become whole. Real love requires forgiveness, communication, and a shared commitment to healing, even when it’s hard. With faith as the foundation, couples can restore trust, deepen intimacy, and rediscover joy. Love isn’t just a feeling — it’s a daily choice to honor, listen, and grow together. When two hearts surrender pride and choose purpose, marriage becomes what God intended — a partnership of strength, unity, and unconditional love.
