Dr. Cude enjoys working with both individuals and couples. Although most of his clinical work is with distressed couples (affairs, divorce, unhealthy conflict, etc.), he also enjoys working with couples who are just starting out and couples who simply want more connection in their relationship. His individual work with clients focuses on adjustments to life transitions, grief, etc., as well as more complex diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, and substance use disorders. His approach to the couple's work is rooted in the research of John Gottman, Ph.D. He mainly works with individual issues utilizing a cognitive-behavioral approach which has been shown to be the most effective way to work with clients struggling with depression and anxiety.
