Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Over the years, I've found that seeing people individually for their relationship issues is actually far more productive than traditional couples counseling. Often couples counseling goes round and round and ultimately goes no where. All it takes is for one member of the couple to not be fully committed to the process, and that becomes the hole in the boat that sinks the whole process. Coming to counseling on your own to work on your relationship issues is ultimately more empowering and more successful. I would be happy to talk with you more about my perspective on helping relationships and marriages, so feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.

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.

Provia Psychology
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, AMFT, APCC
With couples, we emphasize good communication skills as part of the foundation of any relationship and utilize our training and experience to help couples break negative cycles and see themselves as being on the same team, rather than as adversaries as they work through specific issues that are a challenge to having a healthy and fulfilling relationship.

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with couples and individuals on relationship issues. As humans we are wired for connection so relationships are at the core of our sense of self and well being. In my practice we can explore who you are as a child, parent, friend, or partner and gain insight into these important relationships.

Tanya Desloover
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CADCII
My background of 20 years spent as therapist and Clinical Director of a southern CA program, and in private practice, treating clients and families with substance use disorders, has informed my practice to help couples resolve their communication issues and differences. It takes courage to face your fears, and I offer a nonjudgmental, secure holding place to heal. We will work together to support your becoming empowered to courageously face your challenges.
