Larry Baumgartner, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

If your relationship feels distant, tense, or broken right now, you may be wondering how things became this painful. Many couples reach out when they are facing infidelity, intimacy struggles, or repeated conflict that no longer resolves. You might feel hurt, disconnected, or exhausted from trying to hold things together without knowing what will actually help. If you're looking for immediate in-person or online therapy appointments, help is available. Most couples contact me after they've tried everything they know—and nothing is improving. I specialize in helping couples reconnect after an affair, rebuild intimacy, and improve communication using solution focused therapy. This active, future-focused approach helps partners rebuild trust, restore connection, and change interaction patterns without getting stuck reliving the past. While your experiences matter, our work centers on what you want your relationship to look like instead—and how to begin creating that now. Together, we'll identify strengths, skills, and moments that already point toward repair, even if they feel small or distant. We'll focus on interrupting painful cycles, creating new responses, and taking practical steps that support reconnection. You'll be supported and also challenged to try something different because insight alone rarely changes relationships—action does. My role is collaborative and engaged. I ask purposeful questions that create clarity, direction, and momentum. Rather than staying focused on what feels broken, we'll build on what's already working and expand it. This often helps couples feel more hopeful, especially after betrayal, emotional distance, or ongoing conflict. I also work with individuals when relationship concerns, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, or uncertainty about next steps are part of what brings you to therapy. Whether we're focusing on your relationship or your personal well-being, the goal is the same: clearer direction, healthier patterns, and meaningful progress forward. Sessions are designed to feel useful—not just reflective—so change continues outside the therapy room. You don't need perfect clarity before reaching out. You just need a place to start..

I specialize in helping couples reconnect after an affair, rebuild intimacy, and improve communication using solution focused therapy. Sessions are active, practical, and focused on rebuilding trust, restoring connection, and creating meaningful change in how you relate to one another. In addition to couples therapy, I also work with individuals when relationship concerns, anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or uncertainty about next steps are part of what brings them to therapy. Both in-person and virtual sessions are available to fit your schedule. If you're unsure where to start, I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation so you can ask questions, learn more about my approach, and determine whether working together feels like the right fit.
