You say you love each other, but lately it doesn’t feel like it. Conversations that used to flow easily now feel like navigating a minefield. You’re both trying, but somehow you keep hurting each other in the same ways over and over again. The house feels tense and everyone’s walking on eggshells.

Maybe you fight about the same things constantly – money, kids, intimacy, whose turn it is to do the dishes. Maybe you’ve stopped fighting altogether and just coexist like polite roommates. Maybe one of you is always angry and the other has completely shut down. Or maybe you still love each other deeply but can’t seem to remember how to actually like each other anymore.

Here’s the truth about relationships: they are hard work. Good relationships require effort, compromise and the willingness to keep showing up even when it’s hard. But there’s a difference between the kind of work that builds something beautiful and the kind that just leaves everyone exhausted and resentful.

Healthy relationship work feels productive – like you’re building something together. Unhealthy relationship work feels destructive – like you’re constantly repairing damage you keep inflicting on each other.

Our Approach to Couples & Family Therapy

In couples and family therapy, we help you figure out which patterns are worth the effort to change and which ones are slowly poisoning your connection. We teach you how to fight in ways that actually solve problems instead of just creating new wounds. We help you rebuild intimacy, trust and genuine affection for each other.

Most importantly, we help you remember that you’re on the same team. It’s not you against each other – it’s both of you against the problems you’re facing.

Relationships take work, but the right work can transform everything.

What People Are Saying
“A lot of men do not like to admit when they need help. I have dealt with a few therapists in my life and Carol De La Cruz Munoz has been the most attentive, good question asking and neutral professional I’ve ever met. She makes you think, takes notes and ultimately, you feel like she cares. If you’re looking for someone who listens, assesses and teaches you necessary tools to apply, you will not regret reading this post.”
Amanda B
“Been coming since 2019 and now here we are pretty much 5 years later. It’s been the best decision I could have ever made for my own personal development and growth. It’s truly a safe healthy environment where I can be my most authentic self. And as a Black woman it means even more to me that I have a therapist who not only understand me but my cultural experiences. 10 stars!!!!!!!!”

“Dr. Bermudez is an excellent doctor and I’m happy to have been blessed to come across him and his practice. He goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and you end up feeling like you’re just talking with an old friend. He genuinely cares about his patients and one can see that he’s passionate about helping others. He’s just as good with little ones as he is with adults. He knows how to come down to their level and make them feel comfortable in his presence. I appreciate the fact that he makes the extra effort to equip his patients with tools and resources that he feels would be beneficial to them. Optimal living is possible to achieve and Dr. Bermudez proves it! Don’t belive me? Then give him a try yourself and see!”

“Words cannot describe how grateful and thankful I am for Elise. Not only is she an amazing Therapist, she’s a great WOMAN!! She makes you feel heard and seen and takes the time to listen to you. She doesn’t judge but will definitely speak in full transparency at all times. I’ve went through a few Therapist and from day one her energy and vibe has been great. She’s helped me in ways I didn’t even know I needed. I’ve found my person and I’m so thankful! Thank you Elise!!

I’d love to keep her to myself lol but if you’re reading this.. definitely do not hesitate to book with her. She’s real! And it’s something we all need in life. She roots for you while helping you throughout the journey.”

Carmen R
“This place is amazing! I personally had issues with talking to strangers about any part of my life- i thought you’d be judged…not here. I was treated like a loved one- like they really cared for me. I never felt embarrassed or judged. I was never “compared” to anyone because I learned there is only one me! I feel great! My anxiety has almost disappeared- but was also told anxiety is normal and it’s okay to feel the way I did/do! Jose was amazing helping me get to the right people and we even had some laughs. If you are in need, feel alone or just need to get something off your chest….don’t hesitate to give them a call!”

“I am so very grateful to Janelle Alonso who is a wonderful talk-therapist. I am compelled to share our overwhelmingly positive experience. She has had a transformative impact and has been instrumental in the healing process. Janelle has exceptional listening skills, and a deeper understanding of the true reasons for the struggles. She asks thought provoking questions and gently guides to uncover the root causes of the challenges. Throughout the sessions, she always demonstrates great knowledge and expertise in different therapeutic approaches. These were carefully designed to fit the specific goals. She is a great cheerleader and offers unwavering support. I cannot emphasize enough how her dedication and commitment have made such a difference.”
