How We Can Help
How We Can Help
Relationships thrive on connection, understanding, and trust—but these elements can erode over time due to stress, life transitions, or unresolved conflicts. Our couples therapy is designed to help you and your partner:
Improve communication: Learn to express your needs and feelings openly while truly listening to one another.
Resolve conflicts effectively: Move past repetitive arguments with tools to address and defuse tension.
Rebuild trust: Heal from past hurts, including infidelity or other breaches of trust.
Strengthen intimacy: Rekindle emotional and physical closeness for a more fulfilling partnership.
Whether you’re dating, married, or in a long-term partnership, our goal is to help you rediscover what brought you together and equip you to face future challenges as a team.

What is the difference between Couples vs Family Therapy?
What is the difference between Couples vs Family Therapy?
Couples therapy and family therapy are both forms of psychotherapy, but they focus on different units within a family system.
Couples therapy specifically addresses the dynamics and challenges within a romantic relationship. It often involves techniques like communication skills training, conflict resolution strategies, and exploring underlying emotional issues that may be affecting the relationship.
Family therapy takes a broader perspective, focusing on the entire family unit. It examines how family dynamics, communication patterns, and individual behaviors impact each other. Family therapy can address issues such as parental conflict, sibling rivalry, substance abuse, or major life transitions like divorce or the birth of a child.
Challenges We Address

Navigating major life changes, such as parenthood, relocation, or career shifts

No issue is too small or too complex—if it’s affecting your relationship, we’re here to help.

Does Family Therapy mean we have to have children and/or we should bring them to the visits?
Does Family Therapy mean we have to have children and/or we should bring them to the visits?
No, family can be broadly defined. “Family” as the people we choose to live with and make a life with. This may mean that there are children involved in the relationship. They might be children who are grown and left the home or that your family never included children. Family therapy may occur between romantic partners, but also may be between siblings, parent-child, etc.
We should note that Drs. Kessler and MacBride are psychologists who see adults. We often work with parents who struggle with differences in parenting styles, but we do not directly work with children in the family system.
Do you do Premarital Counseling?
Do you do Premarital Counseling?
We love to work with couples just starting out. It can be a fun, exciting, scary, and even overwhelming time. If you are planning a wedding, the time leading up to that beautiful day is a mix of excitement and stress. Maybe you just want to be sure you start off on the right foot or need a little guidance on what your likely problem areas may be. We want to help you develop a solid foundation that you will build on in the years to come.
