As a therapist, I am passionate about walking alongside folks as they reveal their truths and vulnerabilities to themselves. I believe, and have witnessed that people are capable of long standing change with knowledge, support, and connection, and that therapy is a great place for that. You can learn new ways to manage life stressors, feel safe, gain confidence, and live a more joyful and purposeful life. I use cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, while never ignoring the human element and connection where the real change happens.

Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Pasadena
Finding couples therapists in Pasadena starts with naming what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, parenting disagreements, or major life changes. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) in their profiles.
In a smaller city like Pasadena, local appointment options may be more limited than in a larger metro area, and virtual care can expand your choices. Couples also need one therapist whose schedule, format, and approach work for both partners. As you compare Pasadena therapy options, look at appointment availability, whether a brief initial consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their work with couples. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their communication style and what sessions may look like before you book.
Couples therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before your first session. Headway makes it easier to compare couples counseling in Pasadena, review therapist profiles, enter your insurance details, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
