  • Helping Couples & Families Build Solutions for Over 25 Years

    David C. Low MSE, MS, LMFT
    Couples and Family Therapist

    If you and your partner are feeling stuck in your relationship and are searching for the right couples counselor, you’ve come to the right place. With over 25 years of experience as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have helped countless couples rediscover connection and navigate challenging dynamics.

    I am proud to be a Clinical Fellow and Approved Supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). My work extends beyond couples counseling to include clients of all ages who are struggling with emotional distress that impacts their well-being, relationships, and functioning at home, work, school, or in social settings.

    In addition to my practice, I am a faculty member at the Family Therapy Training Institute in Milwaukee, where I teach and supervise future Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists. My passion for helping others also includes supporting the next generation of therapists.

    If you’re ready to explore a new path forward in your relationship, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create a healthier, more connected partnership.

    APPROACH

    When couples feel stuck, it’s common to wonder if counseling or coaching can help. My approach is focused on practical solutions to address the issues you’re facing and create the changes you want to see in your relationship.

    A Personalized, Research-Based Approach
    We’ll start with a relationship check-up to pinpoint challenges and identify clear, actionable steps to move forward. Many couples notice meaningful change within the first few sessions and feel more connected and on track within a few months.

    Focused on What Works for You
    If our work together doesn’t feel like it’s meeting your needs, we’ll discuss adjustments to the approach or explore other options to ensure you get the support that’s right for you. My goal is to help you find solutions that fit your relationship.

    If this sounds like the kind of support you’re looking for, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s take the first step toward getting unstuck and moving forward.

    Background Information

    If you and your partner are feeling stuck, you may be wondering if I’m the right fit to help. Let me share a bit about myself.

    I grew up in New England and Wisconsin before serving four years in the U.S. Air Force in England, where I began my college education. I later earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a clinical master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin. In 2000, I returned to England to complete a second clinical master’s in Couples and Family Therapy at the University of East London. I practiced in the UK for 14 years before moving back to Wisconsin in 2014.

    I specialize in evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), both highly effective in helping couples rebuild trust and emotional connection. I’m also trained in coaching and family mediation, which brings additional tools to my work with clients.

    On a personal note, my wife and I have three children, and I’ve learned that strong relationships take effort and care. When I’m not working, I love traveling, hiking, skiing, and spending time outdoors with my family.

    If you’re ready to move forward, I’d love to help guide you toward a more fulfilling relationship.

    How are Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) Different from Other Therapists?

    While many mental health professionals work with couples and families, most have limited specialized training in these areas. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) stand out because of their extensive education and expertise in family systems and relational dynamics.

    What makes LMFTs unique is their systemic approach to therapy. Instead of focusing solely on individual issues, they consider the broader context—exploring patterns and interactions within the couple or family. This holistic perspective reveals the cycles that contribute to conflict or disconnection, allowing LMFTs to address the root causes of challenges. By doing so, they help foster meaningful change and growth for all members of the relationship or family.
