Caralee Hammer-Frederic, LCSW

If you and your partner feel disconnected, stuck in negative cycles, or unsure how to rebuild intimacy, you're not alone—and change is possible. With over 25 years of experience, I specialize in helping couples transform their relationships by replacing destructive patterns with healthy, meaningful interactions. My approach is direct, compassionate, and rooted in the science of what makes love last.

I am a Certified Gottman Method Therapist, trained directly under Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Their evidence-based approach to relationship therapy has shaped my work, allowing me to provide couples with practical tools to improve communication, deepen emotional and physical intimacy, and navigate conflict in a way that strengthens their bond.

​

Many of the couples I see are impacted by trauma and addiction. I became a Certified Sexual Addiction Recovery Therapist to assist those struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors and their partners. My certification as a Clinical Trauma Professional and advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) allow me to support clients in healing from past wounds that may be affecting their current relationships. 

​

Some couples worry their relationship is beyond repair or question if they want to commit to couples therapy. For couples unsure whether to repair or part ways, I offer Discernment Counseling to help them gain clarity and confidence in their next steps.

​

Beyond working directly with couples, I am passionate about expanding access to effective relationship therapy. As an Advanced Clinical Trainer for the Gottman Institute, I train and consult with therapists nationwide, offering Level 1, 2, and 3 Gottman Method training to help clinicians support couples more effectively.

​

If you're ready to create positive, lasting change in your relationship, I would be honored to help guide you toward a deeper, more fulfilling connection.
