Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Couples therapy focuses on communication, emotional safety, sexual connection, and breaking repetitive conflict cycles. I help partners move from blame to understanding and from distance to deeper connection. We will work a lot on learning to communicate and remembering that even though we may "know" are partners to remain curious about one another and how to share and take in each other with newness.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual issues can cause profound problems for both parties in a relationship. This is particularly true if there has been a discovery of secrets or betrayal. There are 3 recoveries in these cases: his, hers and the coupleship.
The issues of trust, betrayal, lying, gaslighting etc. need to be faced to be repaired. I help couples with communication skills as well as methods of dealing with trauma and its aftermath. Trust and intimacy can be restored over time.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Couples counseling is a powerful way to work! I incorporate my 25 years of experience in the field, along with mindfulness, Hakomi, and the work of Stan Tatkin (PACT - the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) to form a safe, compassionate, and transformative space for you and your partner. My work with couples is potent, with sessions usually lasting two hours. As a result, the overall number of sessions is fewer than with traditional couples therapy.

Whether you are overcoming infidelity, looking to improve communication, having issues in the bedroom or just looking to experience more growth, I want to help you do that...After all, you got into your relationship for a reason, I want to help you get back to that reason and experience one another in a way that is even more meaningful.

Relationships don't come with instruction manuals. I help couples break free from the cycles that leave them feeling disconnected, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and create a relationship where both partners feel seen, valued, and emotionally secure.

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.
