Maren Gleason, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I have helped many couples struggling in their relationships to develop an understanding of each other, learn to support each other, and as a result rediscover their love and connection. I'm Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) as a Therapist and Supervisor. I am also trained in Discernment Counseling to help you decide whether to stay in your current relationship or to leave, if you are not certain about going to couples counseling first. This method of only a few sessions is helpful when one of you is leaning out of the relationship, not at all certain couples counseling would work but not absolutely certain about divorce either and the other partner really wants to work on the relationship. The goal of this approach is to come to a decision with clarity and confidence on whether to leave things as they are, go for 6 months of couples counseling with divorce off the table, or to go for separation and divorce. I have worked with a variety of families from many different cultural backgrounds and walks of life. You can begin to work towards the family and relationship that you have longed for.

Psychotherapy helps people find their own voice, their strengths, and a clearer understanding of what they want. Rather than learning communication skills, EFT counseling helps you understand the longings you and your partner have for a closer, safe, secure relationship and helps you work together for the love you have always wanted. Therapy can help you heal when you are hurting, scared, anxious, worried, or feeling hopeless. It can help you move forward with clarity and certainty.
