Paul W Anderson, PhD
Psychologist, Licensed counseling psychologist, Licensed Addictions counselor
I have had extensive training and experience working with couples, married or otherwise. First and foremost, I do not take sides. Neither of you is to blame for the trouble you have with each other. Both oof you are doing the best you can. The trouble in you relationship is not because either of you is a bad person but because you’re using patterns of interaction that don't work. I can help fix that.
<br>Both of you are right from your own perspective. My job is to help you get out of the blame game and find ways to build bridges between your differences so you can get back to enjoying being together.

Alan Brandis, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., Licensed Psychologist
Having worked with hundreds of couples over the last 40 years, I have developed a set of beliefs or ideas which, if adopted, help to ensure that a relationship will last. Here is a list of them.
1) Arguing helps nothing, so don't do it.
I like to say that I never met the person who started the fight! When two people argue, each of them believes that he or she is merely reacting to something the other one did or said. Neither one believes that they started the fight; but it started somehow, didn't it? 2) It is better to be close than it is to be “right.”
Blaming each other for the argument is counterproductive. So is trying to change the other person's opinion. Most couples who argue, argue about whose perception is "correct," whose way of doing something is the "right" way, and so on. The only possible outcome of these arguments is that someone will be "right" and someone will be "wrong." Do you know anyone who enjoys being wrong? Most people will fight tooth and nail to avoid being "wrong." 3) Commitment is the Foundation of the Therapy.Commitment implies that you are in the relationship "come Hell or high water," barring certain behaviors your partner might do such as having an affair (although I have seen a number of relationships recover from those, too).

I provide services to couples seeking relationship and marriage counseling. I typically include elements of cognitive behavioral therapy and integrative behavioral couples therapy in these sessions. The types of issues that I typically work on with couples include improving communication skills, diminishing the frequency/intensity of arguments, and working through past histories of trauma.

Michelle Peacock
Psychologist, PhD
Relationships and couples/marriage counseling is one of the main reasons people seek therapy. Attachment research is clear about our need as human to connect with and have a loving relationship with another that is mutual and reciprocal.
