Clinical Psychology for Relationships
As a clinical psychologist, Dr. Gunther integrates psychological expertise into her therapy sessions to address underlying mental health issues that can affect relationships. Mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, or trauma often impact communication, trust, and intimacy. By addressing these concerns in therapy, couples can work through their individual challenges while strengthening their connection with one another.
Stronger relationships begin with better communication and understanding.

Family therapy is another service offered by Dr. Gunther to support families in navigating complex dynamics and transitions. Whether you're dealing with parenting issues, blended family challenges, or other family conflicts, therapy can help foster better communication and healthier relationships within the family unit. Using a family systems approach, Dr. Gunther works with each member of the family to understand their role in the larger family dynamic and promote healing for all.


Therapy Sessions to Enhance Mental Health and Relationship Health
Therapy not only improves relationships but also supports mental health and emotional well-being. Dr. Gunther offers individual therapy sessions to help clients address personal issues such as anxiety, depression, or self-esteem concerns. By improving mental health, clients can better engage in their relationships and create more fulfilling connections with their partners and family members.
Healing and growth in relationships start when you take the first step together.
Is This the Right Time for Counseling?
Many of my clients reach out during life transitions:
-
After a betrayal
-
During major life decisions
-
When intimacy feels out of reach
-
In the middle of parenting stress
-
Or simply when something “feels off”
If you’ve been wondering whether now is the time, I invite you to reach out — even if you’re unsure. It’s okay to not have all the answers.
Sometimes, just having someone to walk beside you can make all the difference.
