Most of my work is with couples who struggle with communication, financial, parenting, and blended family issues. My focus is on providing counseling from a biblical perspective and I've found that the extent to which couples are able to apply those principles in their marriage truly determines how well they do in therapy. Although I specialize in couples work, I also work with individual clients in the areas of anxiety, depression, stress, and spiritual issues.

Having been trained at the Couples Institute in Menlo Park, I utilize an interactive, somewhat directive approach. The first thing I want to do is help couples reduce the tension or hostility so that productive work can be done in therapy. So many times partners come in feeling unheard and uncared for. Although it's easy to point at our partner and talk about their shortcomings, it is equally important to be aware of what we, ourselves, contribute to the problem. I send partners home with homework and encourage active participation while respecting the difficulties and differences each couple experiences.

Last year, I have did over 80 hours of training in couples therapy. Nothing feels more important to me than to help people create great relationships. I have had much success over the past 16 years in helping couples; whether dating, married, newlyweds, separated, divorced (to create a successful co-parenting relationship, even when they can't stand to be in the same room), & those divorcing, so they can navigate the process with grace. Best advice: Come in before you think you HAVE TO, for the least # of sessions, don't wait. You are not a failure if you are having trouble in your relationship. Businesses hire consultants & so should you for the most important & complicated part of life.

Being in a relationship takes work. Learning to communicate, learning to listen, learning to respond rather than react can be accomplished during relationship counseling. Just as you can learn to dance like a star, you can learn the intimate dance of relating. We each bring our history into a relationship. We bring habitual ways of relating, childhood experiences, past relationships into each relationship. Learning how to truly connect with another human being takes effort and commitment. Overcoming our past, unlearning habits, learning new styles in order to develop a rewarding present relationship requires professional help in the same way as learning to dance requires a dance coach.
Deryl Goldenberg, Ph.D.
Getting to be in a relationship--the challenge of learning to live with, express loving and angry feelings and show kindness and respect to another human being on a consistent basis is what we all aim for. Most couples fall far short of this, because they get into squabbles about minor and major things, but mostly minor things. Lack of communication skills is the issue, and most individuals don't know the real source of their hurt or frustration, without resoritng to blaming the other for their own unpleasant feelings. The work here is learning how to: face longstanding conflicts (sex, money, kids); express frustration constructively; show kindness; connect emotionally with your partner.
Natalia Voinov, Ph.D.
You and your significant partner may have hit a road block. Your relationship is stumbling and doesn't seem to be what it used to be in the very beginning. Both of you may have accumulated and bottled up a host of untold feelings, frustration, resentment, anger. No matter how hard you try, you seem to get the same results that would look like an endless cycle of disappontments and broken promises. Crises don't have to remain crises, time lost in draining discussions can be reversed. I can help you enhance communication skills, relieve your anxieties, lessen your angry reactions and, most of all, replace "poison" with "potion".

What do you hope for with your partner? In couples therapy, we improve communication, bridge differences, and promote change. People come to couples therapy at many stages of relationship: pre-marital counseling; navigating differences in time management; blending households and families; birth of a child; infidelity; divorce -- any time a couple is seeking to change behaviors that are causing pain. When a life stressor has begun to affect your partnership in an unwanted way, or if you are seeking to be heard differently by your partner, the skills you learn in couples therapy will create a more mutually satisfying relationship.

I work with pre-marital, marital, and couples that are dating. Many times these couples come into counseling very frustrated and feel misunderstood by their partners. This conflict leads to arguing and eventually to thoughts of disolving the relationship. I work together with these couples by integrate techniques designed to generate understanding of the viewpoint of their partner. From this understanding we work together on building the relationship by a blending of the strengths and weaknesses of each partner. Success is achieved by a consistent working through of issues, each time with the partners taking more responsibility with the tools that they have learned from previous sessions.

Building effective, positive, respectful communication skills is one of the major gains in couples therapy. I guide each partner to learn, understand and honor the uniqueness about themselves and their partners. To be heard and understood is powerful. Embracing each others' partner's essence builds the most important aspect of a relationship - TRUST.Trust opens the door to the unfolding of authentic intimacy in our most important relationships. Each partner will learn how to be that beacon of light that reaches out - directing the way to safety- when our partner is in uncharted waters. To love & be loved is the most soothing balm for facing the stresses of today's world

Empowering the individual within a committed relationship is what I do best. There are many issues that couples may face, infidelity, divorce, cultural differences, finances, conflict on parenting, blended families and the one issues that runs through them all, the ability to communicate with your partner. It is my job to bring clarity which allows for deeper communication in a safe environment.

If you are a powerful, modern individual who wants to improve interactions with a partner, you'll benefit from interacting with a third person - the therapist - who can represent the best interest or highest good for your "relationship" . It helps to check in each week in order to stay related to the tough issues in your relationship - money, kids, romance, work , one another's frustrations and issues. We'll work on them in session each week where you are both feeling safe and respected. Then you can go about your week knowing that time is set aside to work on the "relationship". Change will come about gradually and naturally.

He thinks it is her fault and she thinks it is his. Some couples blame, accuse, and criticize. Others live separate lives, almost as distant friends living in the same house. Sometimes someone cheats on the other or goes off alone to view pornography, leaving the unresolved conflicts of the relationship in the background. A fearful lover may either hide in some way or try to desperately control the other. If you are on the brink of splitting up, but not quite ready to totally give up, then now is the crucial time to seek help. Thomas Schmierer, M.A., helps couples address the fears of intimacy that are keeping the relationship weak. Your relationship can be fixed!

I think of myself as the couples witness, there to remind each person of what they previously stated as being important to them. Problems arise when both parties can’t hold a dual awareness of their own experience. Happily mated means meeting personal needs in a win-win, not at the expense of the other person’s needs, nor sacrificing any basic need within ourself. We all meet as a couple first and sometimes, I will meet with each person on individual basis. This is so each person can learn how to effectively self-regulate their sensations and emotions, reducing their instinctual “fight or flight” response.

Couples seek counseling at various stages of their relationships and for a variety of different reasons. I am an experienced therapist who assists couples with conflict resolution, parenting issues, communication breakdowns and decision making, i.e. getting married, having children. I provide a safe and supportive environment in which couples can identify and express their concerns, needs and wants. By helping couples to communicate clearly and effectively (as opposed to defensively), a greater understanding and ability to respond to one another can be achieved, This will, in turn, contribute to a healthier partnership.
Rebecca Kahane, MA, LMFT
Our relationships can be the greatest source of joy and comfort and the biggest source of pain. I believe that we choose our relationships as a way to repair the wounds of our family of origin childhood experiences. As a result, we may come to experience a similar pain with our partner as we did with our parents. I assist couples to move out of blame, judgment and criticism that keep them stuck in the same old arguments and move them towards empathy, understanding and acceptance . I help couples rebuild trust and increase intimacy by developing good communication and listening skills and working towards creative problem solving.
William Josephs, Ph.D.
Couples counseling helps improve people's relationships by helping them to understand how styles of communication often can promote or interfere with appreciating the other. Unproductive communication styles are rooted in the habits of individuals to be focused upon own concerns, leading to difficulty tolerating their differences. Couples learn to be better able to focus, listen and understand each other; toward the aim of getting what they want out of the relationship while allowing the other to be just as ardent about their goals. Each individual has equal bearing upon their relationship and shared responsibility is the key to fluid, harmonious relationships.

As we grow older, we sometimes take our partners for granted, and think they "should be able" to read our minds or be able to meet our needs. I like to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and communication skill-building to help couples clearly tell each other what issues they feel are important and what they need from each other for resolution. If you are looking to save your relationship, or find someway to compassionately part from each other, I can help you.

You often hear couples say: "we've just grown apart," "we just can't seem to communicate," we were going along fine and then the wheels just seemed to fall off the wagon." Often the problem is about how each person attempts to get their needs met , while they and the world around them is changing, resulting in ruptures their relationship. Often, the means of getting one's needs met, must be renegotiated. Or, there may have been an outright break of trust causing ruptures in the relationship. Exploring whether trust can be restored requires both people working through and tolerate their own, and the others myriad of emotions. Let me help you store your relationship.

We expect a lot from romance & marriage these days - and a lot of the time we end up disappointed. Divorce rates are sky-rocketing. Many people are frustrated in their efforts to have a loving, caring, rewarding relationship. In my experience, almost all couples have communication and closeness issues. We are frustrated and confused when we seem to end up hurting the one we love. We crave intimacy - but it eludes us. Sex is unsatisfying or problematic. Here's the great news: There ARE solutions for these issues! The bad news is no one teaches them to you. If you come to me, I will teach you the skills you two need to live happily ever after. It won't be easy, but it is very do-able.

Couples who are dating, engaged, married, or divorcing benefit from improved communication. Most couples, even those deeply in love, sometimes feel alone in their relationships.

Relationships are an area where young adults can struggle. Wanting to create lasting bonds, they don't always think about who is a good match for them, given their family values, and plans for their life. Past failed relationships can also leave young adults hesitant to open their hearts and try to find love again.
I help young adults discover what it takes to create the loving relationship they've always dreamed of. I also facilitate the important pre-marital discussions between couples that are necessary prior to beginning their life together as a married couple.

Still others come to couples therapy as their relationship seems to be falling apart. What are you going through right now?

All couple relationships go through stages of development. After falling love, couples often hit an impasse. I work from a Developmental Model perspective. That means helping the couple develop skills along with insights as to the causes of the misunderstandings, that if not confronted can lead to pain. It's a challenge in today's fast paced world to balance career, family AND nurture your relationship. It's more cost effective to try to repair the relationship than declare it dead! Your partner won't come to counseling? I will work with one partner because when one person within the system makes a change, it forces the other within the system to adapt to the change.

Couples often find themselves in a destructive pattern of fighting, often over trivial issues, in essence, having the same fight over and over. After identifying the effects of the fighting behaviors on each partner, and the relationship, together we'll identify more effective ways to approach the differences you are struggling with, and reconnect with the best intentions you each hold for the relationship. This sets the stage for supporting the growth of faith in the relationship and trust in your partner. Differences can then be addressed in an atmosphere of good faith, mutual recognition and acceptance.
Carl H. Shubs, Ph.D.
Married, dating, heterosexual, gay, or bisexual? I specialize in emotional intimacy, sex, addiction, and trauma, any of which can derail a relationship.
You can heal your relationship or end it. I can help either way. Improve communication and handle conflicts better. Get your emotional baggage out of the way so it doesn’t hurt your relationship. Better for the couple and especially better when there are kids.
Have kids and you’re divorcing? You’re still tied together. We can make that less damaging for everyone. Kids do better when their divorced parents work together for the kids’ best interest – dealing with emotions and communication better and not putting kids in the middle.

I believe couples naturally select partners who will eventually restimulate old hurts. If couples can recognize this, then conflict becomes an opportunity for healing and growth. My job in working with couples is to help them identify these old hurts and work together with one another to understand and provide compassion for one another as they do this work. Emotional intimacy is the natural outcome of this powerful work.
Donald Goodman, LCSW
In a time when 60% of marriages end in divorce couples counseling is extremely important. Keeping a marriage or a relationship together can save tremendous pain and suffering for each partner. In couples counseling, the goal is two fold. It is to identify and resolve the problem, and improve communication (if this is an issue). Once the problems are identified, the couple can use their communication skills to learn compromise in the relationship. It is evident that many of us did not choose the most compatible partner. However, a relationship can still be rewarding, supportive, and meaningful if the communication is improved. The therapist’s task is to identify the dysfunctional commun
Martin Hsia, Psy.D.
I counsel couples from an Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) model, helping couples break their cycles of conflict by truly hearing and understanding what each partner is communicating. This means helping couples see past what they are arguing about to the actual significance of those unresolved tension-filled subjects, and learning how to communicate effectively to get on the same page.

When couples begin to have problems, it usually menas that the communication between the couple has failed. Sometimes other issues are involved as well, such as children, finanicial, career goals, sexual issues and infedelity.

To achieve our goal of getting love we want from our relationship, the process must begin at the beginning by looking at your earliest relationships in life and not only recognizing the traits of those early care givers but also realizing that those very same qualities are the ones we are repeatedly seeking out unconsciously in our adult partners.
Learning to access your own true emotions intra-psychically and express them genuinely, honestly, and directly, as well as being able to listen, hear, and mirror another’s truly shared deep feelings and thoughts are keys to having highly effective and functional relationships. Learn to own your own feelings and your own role in your relationships

All couples face challenges in a relationship. What makes some relationships last and others that don't is a combination of communication skills and commitment to making the marriage work. Many marriages test people to their limit, but that doesn't mean it's a bad marriage. If you are able to hang in there and work with a trusted professional, you can expand and grow into a more loving and nurturing person.

Couple dynamics are complicated and thus require a multi-pronged approach. My goal is to focus on the improvement of intimacy,communication, and conflict/resolution. This is accomplished by not only understanding the strengths and deficits of the couples' current relationship patterns but by also coming to understand the individual experiences that each member of the couple brings to the couple dynamic. Each member of the couple has a wealth of experiences, feelings, behaviors and beliefs that were formed well before the couple was formed. Understanding the impact of those separate experiences as well as current couple dynamic creates space for understanding, recover, and healing.

I have worked with many, many couples over the years...married, living together, same sex or heterosexual. My initial focus is to understand the underlying dynamics and pain that each of the partners is experiencing in the relationship and what has caused the conflict, disappointment and distress they now feel. I then work to help each of them empathically understand the needs of the other, and be able to communicate (hearing what the other means and "feels" and expressing what they need and feel) in more loving, respectful and clear ways. We work together to restore the attachment and bond that has been damaged so that they can rediscover love, intimacy, trust and respect for each other.

The therapeutic relationship resembles the couple’s relationship, in that a foundation of mutual acceptance, support and respect will allow you to feel a sense of trust and safety with one another. One of the goals is to increase each partner’s awareness of themselves and their partner. As you gain insight in to the patterns of interaction between you, I can help you gain the skills necessary to reverse ineffective ways of communicating and behaving with each other. These new skills will help you better manage problems and life stressors when they present themselves. Working together as a team, you can create the relationship you really desire.

One of the main reasons couples come in for counseling is because they want the other person to change so that they can feel better. My focus with couples is to help them identify what their needs are and to then help negotiate communication between them to determine who is responsible for those needs. Once each person in the couple gets clarity about who is really responsible for those needs, it allows for a stronger and more loving relationship because there is no longer any need or desire to try and control the other person. It reduces blame and shame and each person feels a freedom to personally grow within the relationship.

Every relationship experiences arguments and conflict. That is an inevitable part of being in an intimate relationship. These differences do not have to undermine a relationship so long as the underlying patterns of interaction which keep these conflicts active can be understood and resolved. As a specialist in couples counseling, I seek to help a couple identify these patterns and learn how to listen with understanding while promoting the authenticity of each individual. I use an emotionally focussed treatment which allows a couple to work through their conflicts while enhancing their feelings of attachment and closeness. With 28 years of experience, I have helped many couples do this.

A good relationship is not one without problems, it is one that can work through problems. Issues arise between couples who are either married, engaged to be married or dating. If a couple does not know how to navigate peacefully through a conflict and tends to avoid it or gets into heated power struggles, nothing gets resolved, resentment builds and repairs are never made. Conjoint therapy involves learning how to communicate more effectively, redefine your relationship, heal past wounds, talk without criticizing and listen without defending. I will help you and your partner identify the issues and will help you to decide what changes are needed for both of you to feel satisfied.

In couples therapy, I use the first session or two for discernment therapy, that is, clarifying the goals to be sure both parties are equally committed to the relationship. Then, I verbalize rules and guidelines that requires both to respect me, each other and the process. I strive to remain neutral and to allow each person enough time, without interruption, to express their concerns about the relationship. To help each person get what they need, I act as a mediator and negotiate for changes in the relationship..
Taji Huang, Ph.D.
My name is Dr. Taji Huang and I have dedicated the past 12 years of my career to the field of mental health in a very broad range of mental health settings. I have had the priviledge of working closely with children, adolescents and adults in individual, couples, family and group settings. One of the tools that I use is psychotherapy, which involves regular face-to-face meetings with the psychologist. Sessions typically last between 45-50 minutes, one or more times per week; depending on the case. In this confidential and safe setting, clients have the opportunity to explore personal issues with someone who has unique listening skills.
