Relationship and Marriage Counseling therapists in Santa Maria, California CA
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.

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.

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.
