Compassionate & Effective Couples Therapy in Marin | Strengthen Your Relationship Today

We all have patterns in intimate relationships that we unconsciously developed long ago. Especially in our love relationships, we can feel stuck in interlocking patterns and often blame that frustration on our partner.

​

Our Somatic Couples Therapy offerings in Marin are an integrative approach designed to enhance emotional connection and intimacy between partners by focusing on the mind-body connection. This therapeutic modality acknowledges that unresolved issues often manifest physically, creating triggers and upset in our relationships. Shifts can occur through increased awareness of bodily sensations, movement, and emotional expression.

​

What to Expect: In sessions, couples will engage in various somatic techniques and traditional couples therapy techniques, including Emotionally Focused Therapy and Relational Life Therapy. Therapists facilitate discussions that encourage partners to explore their feelings and experiences while connecting with their physical bodies. This holistic approach helps to:

​

• Improve communication skills

• Build emotional resilience

• Foster deeper intimacy and trust

• Address and resolve past traumas that may affect the relationship

​

Who Can Benefit: Somatic Couples Therapy is ideal for couples experiencing:

• Communication difficulties

• Emotional disconnection

• Repetitive conflicts or patterns

• Trauma or loss affecting the relationship

• A desire to deepen their emotional and physical connection

​

Session Structure:

• Initial Consultation: We will conduct an assessment to understand the dynamics, goals, and any challenges present.

• Formats: Couples will then be referred to either the intensive therapy format or the traditional weekly structure depending on needs and goals.

​

About the Intensive Format: Many modalities of couples therapy move slowly and can feel like a painfully long road. Utilizing both Somatic Modalities and Relational Life Therapy combined with trauma therapies, couples are often surprised at just how quickly we get to the heart of the issues that are causing disconnection. The intensive format works well for couples that have tried various therapies and still feel stuck, as well as couples challenged with power imbalances.

Intensives are generally 15 sessions in length, meeting every other week with session lengths lasting between 60 and 90 minutes. Half-day or private retreats can also be arranged to accommodate work and family schedules, and couples often find immediate relief in this type of kickoff.
