Additionally, we provide quality clinical treatment to adult individuals as well as couples counseling for heterosexual, and same sex couples.
Most people contemplate therapy at a point where life's stressors have become so intense that talking about these things can be very difficult and even embarrassing. However, making a decision to seek therapy is an act that reflects a great deal of humility and self-love. If you or your family have been experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, or grief, my practice is well experienced in helping you during this healing process. Additionally, we have worked with families who were experiencing conflict due to separation, divorce, child welfare involvement, exposure to trauma, or just non-compliant/defiant behavior.

Many people come to me concerned that therapy cannot work for them. They feel hopeless, or discouraged, or worried that they are beyond help. In fact, some have had previous therapy experiences that have reinforced these fears. If that is your experience, don't give up hope. We will work together to create a treatment plan tailored to address your individual needs. I am an active and engaged therapist, which means I will not sit back and quietly smoke a pipe while you lie on my office couch. I strive to create a collaborative therapy environment where you are an equal partner in identifying your treatment goals.

David works both with individuals and couples.
David is a queer, neurodivergent Jewish dude who wants to do nothing more than leave the world a better place than when he came into it. David believes in a humanistic approach to therapy, which means that much of what you focus on in the therapy room is what you find to be personally affecting you. He has training in cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy, amongst others, which he uses to build a framework in order to help set goals, but ultimately the approach used will be based on what you vibe the most with.

I want to help make this process as comfortable as possible for you, because I believe that the relationship you develop with your therapist is one of the most important factors leading to success in therapy.
If you are looking for a therapist, then you have identified that there may be some area in your life that you are not satisfied with. Maybe you are seeking a change in your relationships, in your career, or in how you feel? I believe that psychotherapy should be a safe and comfortable place for you to explore what changes you would like to engage in to lead a more satisfying and happy life. My role is to help you through that process in a collaborative way, by providing support, increasing your insight, and teaching you new skills.

I love working with individuals and couples/relationships around communication, identity exploration and affirmation, trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
I believe that healing happens in relationships where we can truly be seen, understood, and valued for who we are. I will be a warm and compassionate presence for you as we work collaboratively to identify your needs, goals, and values. Then comes the challenging and liberating part: utilizing that knowledge and awareness to help you build the life you want. Based on your specific concerns, we can integrate a variety of practices like self-compassion, mindfulness, parts work, and cognitive/behavioral (e.g., ACT, CBT) therapies. I highly value collaboration and invite you to explore and share with me what works best for you.

Hello, I am Tanisha Williams CEO of The Relationship Rehabilitation Center. I am. Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor. As a therapist I see many of us stuck in life only being held back by our past... past trauma, pain, and fears. Leaving us stuck in the cycles of our past. Reliving the same pain, failures, and experiences. Clients come in feeling confused as they can't escape these cycles and are plagued with depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction. Some of the issues we face are inherited from generational trauma or biological. Even though we may feel hopeless there is hope.

Couples Counseling Therapists
Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
