Meet David Lyons
Hello, I’m David Lyons. Throughout my 20+ years as a relationship therapist, I've encountered many couples caught in the silence of emotional disengagement. It's a quiet yet profound distance that grows when couples stop sharing their true feelings due to fear of conflict or dismissal. This distance can make you feel isolated right in your own home, unsure if your partner understands—or even cares—about your needs.
Emotional disengagement often stems not from a lack of love, but from a lack of being understood and valued. It may manifest in conversations that end before they begin, in the unresolved issues that loom larger with every day, or in the loneliness that comes when you feel more like roommates than partners.
I specialize in guiding couples back to each other. Using a blend of empathetic listening, evidence-based practices, and tailored communication strategies, I help my clients break through walls of silence and build bridges of understanding. It’s about turning passive interactions into moments of connection and making sure that both partners feel seen, heard, and valued.
Your relationship deserves more than coexistence; it deserves a vibrant, loving connection where both partners thrive. If you're ready to transform your relationship, I’m here to help guide that journey

Meet Traci Henson
Welcome to Your Journey toward Reconnection
Before I specialized in couples therapy, I witnessed countless individuals grappling with the complexities of betrayal. The confusion, the heartbreak, and the loneliness—these are not just emotions; they are profound experiences that change how you view relationships. Many couples find themselves questioning everything they once believed about their partner and themselves.
You might be struggling with the weight of betrayal trauma, feeling like your reality is being dismissed, or facing the daunting task of rebuilding trust. Perhaps you are coping with the emotional distance created by your partner’s actions, constantly questioning your self-worth, or managing the heartbreak of feeling disconnected from someone you once deeply loved.
I understand these challenges intimately—not just as a therapist, but through my professional journey working directly with couples facing these very issues. Together, we will navigate this difficult path from confusion to clarity, from pain to empowerment.
