what makes us different
We Specialize in Couples and Relationships
Our practice is dedicated to helping couples and individuals create thriving relationships. By focusing on couples we bring a deep understanding of the unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that relationships present. Our expertise allows us to provide highly effective relationship support. All of our therapists are used to providing therapy to 10 or more couples per week.
Our Therapists Are Trained In Couples Therapy
Our licensed or associate Marriage and Family Therapists have training beyond the graduate school level trained in the two most well known and respected models for couples therapy: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and The Gottman Method. These evidence-based approaches create lasting, positive change within relationships.
Flexible In-Person and Virtual Options
We understand that life is busy, which is why we offer both in-person therapy at our office in Encinitas, CA and virtual therapy for added convenience. With flexible day and evening appointments, we ensure that therapy fits into your schedule, whether you prefer to meet from home or in our private, comfortable setting.
Workshops and Intensives
In addition to ongoing therapy, we offer workshops and intensives for couples seeking more immersive experiences. These programs are designed to be an adjunct, or alternative, to weekly couples therapy to help couples gain practical tools, and build stronger connections in a focused, supportive setting.
