Relationship and Marriage Counseling

Maureen Backman

Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA, MS
Often, my clients seek out relationship therapy feeling disconnection - disconnection from their partners, disconnection from themselves, and disconnection from their relationship. You may be feeling like your relationship has reached an impasse - conflicts feel unsolvable, and you’re not sure where to go from here. You may be navigating a major transition in your relationship, and aren’t sure how to find your way back to each other. Or maybe things are going ok, but you’re wanting to experience deeper connection and intimacy. Whatever has brought you to therapy, I’m here to help you and your partner navigate a pathway back to connection. As your therapist, I help you move from disconnection to connection. I invite you to identify your core desires in your relationship and how you want to feel with each other. We gently explore patterns in your relationship and learn how to create a more positive cycle of interaction. Drawing on my training in mindfulness-based, experiential therapy, I also guide you and your partner through interactive exercises so you have new, reparative experiences in session with each other. This type of therapy fosters deeper connection and healing that includes body, mind and spirit. You may be wondering whether relationship therapy is for you, or whether you can bring all of yourself into therapy. You may feel like you and your partner don’t fit the mold of the typical “couple.” My practice welcomes you, and I look forward to co-creating a space that fits your unique partnership. I welcome all constellations of relationship, including open and poly. I affirm sexual and gender diversity in my work, and am kink and BDSM-affirming. I believe therapy should be accessible to all minds and bodies, and welcome neurodiversity.

Carlsbad, California therapist: Melanie Goetz, marriage and family therapist
Relationship and Marriage Counseling

Melanie Goetz

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Hello! When working with couples, adult family relationships, and friendships, I take an attachment approach. I want to get to know the stories of past and present relationships, relational patterns, stresses, dreams, and victories that are currently impacting your felt-sense of being known, safely, and fully in your relationship(s). I infuse the decades of research and communication templates of Gottman Method Couples Counseling with the tailored insight of Attachment Core Pattern Therapy. Together we'll discover what part of the relational conflict is really about the issue you're discussing, really about the person you're in conflict with, the deeper roots of pain that are being triggered, and how the relationship you're in can be a part of your healing the rooted relational injury.

San Francisco, California therapist: Patty Murray, marriage and family therapist
Relationship and Marriage Counseling

Patty Murray

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Relationships are hard -- and mostly because we are not taught basic foundations for how to be in conflict. I help couples get clear on how they might be contributing to the unhealthy conflict which takes out the blame and creates more opportunity for sustained and healthy change -- to get you and your partner into a space of consistent safety. We learn *how* to fight.

Have you ever desired to get close to someone but couldn’t? Have you given your all to someone only to be hurt and disappointed in return? Do you question every move you make while you date? You’re not alone. As individuals, we intrinsically seek connection. Whether it be family, friends, dating, or partners - sometimes we all need a little help with boundaries, communication, intimacy, anxiety, codependency, and attachment issues, just to name a few. I join with clients to help build self-awareness, communication, and connection to create secure and trusting relationships.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling

Kate Merrill Evans

Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I love working with couples! I am extensively trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and blend in body awareness, mindfulness, and psychoeducation around emotional regulation. My couples learn how to get underneath their own reactive /protective behaviors in order to better understand and communicate their needs in a way their partner can hear and more effectively respond to. This builds trust, safety, and authenticity in the relationship.

Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #119163
Before, during, after a marriage. What couple doesn't benefit from a little tune up now and again? Is it communication? How can we express ourselves authentically without letting our trauma get in the way? Are we actually listening? Communication is a set of skills that can be learned, honed, and practiced over time. It is not the magic cure to all that ails, but it is a helpful first step. When a couple is able to communicate effectively they are able to deepen their exploration of each other and start to connect and heal in meaningful ways.
