Marriage counseling that Heals in Altadena, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

I work with adolescents, individuals, and couples with a variety of issues ranging from moderate to severe depression, anxiety, personality disorders, self-esteem, anger management, and weight issues to name a few.

A healthy relationship takes ongoing work. I work collaboratively with you and your partner to ensure you both feel heard, validated, and recognized.

We specialize in marriage counseling, and our staff of over 30 therapists offer fees ranging from $45 to $275 per session. International experts on marital therapy have provided training to our staff to equip us to help even the most distressed marriages get better.

I approach marital therapy without assumption or value judgement. Each person brings to a relationship unique attributes which may unknowingly contribute to conflict or painful relational patterns. I work with couples to explore, understand and change these patterns.

Dr. Brainerd has a special interest in relationship therapy. He is a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, has a special website for couples and therapists and will soon have a unique "Relationship Help APP" so couples can have access to important skills 24/7.

I specialize in helping people with relationships. I help both married and unmarried couples navigate difficulties relating to communication, sex, and intimacy. I also help single people who are struggling with issues related to intimacy and finding the right partner.

Couples, Families and Relationships; I have 30+ years conducting family and couples counseling, 7 of those utilizing Psychotherapy evidenced-based methods, including the Gottman Research Based Approach and Hold me Tight, Emotionally Focused Therapy.

I am a certified Facilitator for Prepare & Enrich a pre-martial/martial program designed to address a couples relationship and provide couple exercises to build their relationship skills.

In addition to individual counseling, I provide treatment to couples and families. Areas of treatment include developing effective communication, addressing conflict in a compassionate environment and learning how to support loved ones who are in recovery.

Our automatic responses to our partners may be helping or hurting us (or both!) but our responses are there for a reason. Couples therapy works to understand these automatic responses and take better control of the process, freeing us from a stance of defensiveness.

I work with adults in relationships of all kinds. Whether you are dating or have been married for decades, I respect your commitment and I am here to help you learn better communication, connection, and find your path to love and support. No judgment, just compassion.
