Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Dr. Chiara Simeone-DiFrancesco
Psychologist, PhD
This is my favorite specialty. I have been working with relationships and Connect-Talk since 1974, and I wrote the first textbook on Schema Therapy with Couples, published by Wiley - Blackwell, with two of my colleagues. I train other therapists internationally in this venue, and practice it both online and in person. I have many resources on my website that can encourage you. Believe me, you haven't "tried everything", as you probably have not tried Schema Therapy and you haven't tried me! Challenge yourself to not give up and not to give in to the prevalent culture of hopelessness. There is more good that can happen than you think, and people aren't zebras. We have many, many examples of people changing their lives and their characters. But, you do really have to work at it. You and your children are worth the work and focus. Why not give this approach a try!

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 40 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Johanna Isaacs
Psychologist, Psy.D., PsyPACT Participant
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.

Kathryn Ziemer
Psychologist, PhD
Every relationship has its challenges. Sometimes it takes an outside person to help you and your partner work through these challenges in an empathic and objective way. I use techniques that have been proven to work. Together, we will create a trusting and safe environment where you and your partner can talk openly about the issues that divide you. I don’t take sides or place blame. Instead, I work to understand each of you as individuals and as a couple. Our work will focus on building better communication skills, having more positive experiences as a couple, and coping more effectively with challenges. Together, you and your partner can build a stronger relationship.
