Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Pleshe Counseling Services
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I truly care about my clients and believe therapy works best when it’s built on trust, honesty, and respect. I’m known for my direct but compassionate approach—I’ll gently encourage you to explore those deeper parts of yourself, because I know that’s where real healing and transformation begin!
I also believe that growth is a lifelong process. I challenge myself both personally and professionally to stay connected to my own growth, knowing that as I continue to learn, I can better support you. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to help you tap into your inner wisdom and strength, so you can weather life’s storms and reconnect with the wholeness that’s already within you.Like many of my clients, I’ve had moments in my life when I felt lost, vulnerable, and unsure how to move forward. It was through my own journey—especially with Imago Therapy—that I realized lasting change starts within. Healing isn’t about changing everything around us; it’s about tending to what’s inside and learning how to grow, even in difficult seasons!
This work has shown me the beauty of conscious relationships, where we can stand strong as individuals while still growing together. It’s a delicate balance—one I’ve had to learn for myself—and it’s something I’m passionate about helping others find. If you’re ready to tend to your roots and begin your own journey toward healing and connection, I’d be honored to walk alongside you!

Riley Brennan
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
I am not afraid of your big feelings, intense conflict, or choices you aren't proud of. I hold space for what the rest of the world tries to keep in the closet. I provide an authentic, nonjudgmental space to explore how ingrained patterns have influenced your life and how you can move forward to live the life you want.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy
Michele Donalson
Licensed Professional Counselor
I am passionate about helping couples figure out their "communication issues" which are often much more deeply rooted in ways that the partners have not made a connection to yet. Past relationships, hurts from loved ones and/or trauma from childhood or any poor experience may contribute to how one shows up today along with being a black man or woman living in today's world. These are all factors that may contribute to relationship distress and should be addressed.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I'm not your ordinary therapist. I have 24 + years of experience as a therapist, plus I have the life experience of a wife of 43 years, mother of two, and grandmother of four. I am the therapist that people come in and say, "Wow, you helped me more in one session than I got out of years with several other therapists." I am fun, direct, empathetic, but direct so that you can have the results you are looking for in a short amount of time. I love what I do, so it's not work to me. I'm very interactive in sessions so there won't be many times where I just sit there and don't provide feedback. I'm the type of therapist that will call you out on your stuff so I can help you meet your goals and have better relationships with others. I love talking with potential clients to see if I'm a good fit. After a phone call with me you will be able to get a sense if I'm a good fit for you. Please give me a call and let's chat!
