Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Are you contemplating divorce? Have you and your partner already made the decision? We all think about leaving our current relationship. The grass always seems greener, and sometimes it really is. Good couples therapy never promises to save relationships! Instead, it helps both partners explore the depths of the relationship, so they are able to make clear and honest decisions about what to do next. I have had many couples enter my practice on the brink of divorce, only to find that some simple new tools for communication, intimacy, forgiveness, and shared purpose can bring them back together. Of course, sometimes divorce is the best option. Some relationships are not meant to last. And that's ok! That is not a failure, that is growth. Therapy can help with the process of leaving a relationship in a way that honors both of you, that sets you up to be good friends, with respect and care.

Leila Tabatabaee
Psychologist, PhD
Mourning the end of a committed relationship is never easy. Accepting and even celebrating the ways in which the relationship influenced the person you are today can be the first step of evolving into your new autonomous self. Divorce can feel like a death and can also serve as a rebirth. Learning tools to support you through the process can make all the difference.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
Many of the individuals and couples I work with are either going through the process of divorce or are at a crossroads in their relationship, discerning if they should move forward together or separate. With couples, my goal is to help you determine what you need in order to either have a healthy, thriving relationship together or a respectful, peaceful separation.

Dr. Tracy Mallett
Psychologist, Psy.D., L.M.F.T., Licensed Psychologist
Divorce is one of life’s most difficult transitions, affecting not only partners but also children, extended family, and the entire sense of home and stability. I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families navigate the emotional, relational, and practical challenges that accompany divorce — before, during, and after the process.
My work focuses on emotional stabilization, clear communication, boundary setting, and healthy co-parenting. For individuals, therapy provides a supportive space to process grief, anger, and loss while rebuilding identity and confidence. For parents, I help create a framework for cooperative parenting that prioritizes children’s emotional well-being and minimizes conflict.
When appropriate, I also provide family or joint sessions to support smoother transitions, improve communication, and establish respectful new family structures. Using cognitive-behavioral and family systems approaches, we work together to reduce emotional reactivity, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and build strategies for resilience and forward movement.
My goal is to help clients move from chaos and hurt toward clarity, self-understanding, and peace, so they can begin the next chapter of their lives with strength and purpose.

Pasadena is home to Caltech and the Huntington Hospital, and the city's intellectual, academic culture creates demand for therapists experienced in working with high-achievers navigating perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological demands of elite academic and scientific environments. The city's established residential character and proximity to Los Angeles give it a distinct therapy landscape — less entertainment-focused than West Hollywood, more oriented toward depth work, relationships, and long-term growth. Pasadena also has a significant older adult population, with therapists specializing in aging, life review, and elder family dynamics well represented. Many practices serve clients drawn from across the San Gabriel Valley and Foothill communities.
