About Us

Welcome to the Relationship Therapy Center, where understanding and healing relationships is our passion. With a trauma- informed lens in all the work we do, our compassionate, highly trained therapists are here to support you. To help you get from where you are now to where you long to be.  Feeling trapped in the complexities of your life or relationships is something we understand all too well. However, growth and change is possible.

We Specialize

We specialize in guiding individuals, couples, and families through the maze of trust issues and disconnection. Additionally, communication problems that strain even the strongest bonds. It’s natural to feel stressed or anxious when faced with these challenges. But take heart, for you’ve found a place where hope is born, and healing is possible.

What We Believe

At The Relationship Therapy Center, we believe that life’s difficulties don’t define you; they are merely chapters in your journey. We exist to help you navigate these chapters, turning them into stories of growth, connection, and then resilience. Our mission is to be your guiding light, providing the support you need to break free from the patterns that have held you back.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to your wellbeing. We take pride in being the only counseling center in the greater Sacramento area with a Certified Gottman Method Therapist who mentors all our Level 2 or 3 Gottman trained therapists. The Gottman Method is a research based, proven approach to couples therapy, and it’s at the heart of what we do.

Trauma-Informed Care

We also have trauma-informed therapists who specialize in EMDR and Brainspotting, for all members of your family.  Our training program here is known by the local universities and recent graduates as above and beyond what most centers provide. If you want or need therapy, there is no better place to get the premiere therapists to help you get to your goals quickly and effectively.

Our therapists are here to empower you in two key areas:

Self Improvement:
Life can throw curveballs that leave you feeling overwhelmed. Our expert therapists can help you address anxiety, depression, codependency, trauma/PTSD, ADHD/Neurodivergence and grief. We’re here to enhance your self-esteem and overall wellbeing, guiding you towards a brighter future.

Relationship Support:
Strong relationships are the cornerstone of a fulfilling life. Whether you want to strengthen your bond with your spouse or partner. Help to resolve disconnection and conflicts, or rebuild trust; our therapists are your partners on this journey. We understand that differences in handling finances, intimacy, and parenting can strain relationships, and we’re here to help. For those seeking an intensive experience, we offer private couples retreats.

 Premarital Counseling:

If you’re preparing for marriage, our marriage counselors can provide invaluable guidance to ensure a healthy and lasting partnership. Don’t just rely on the love you feel now, learn real skills to take with you so your relationship lasts after the honeymoon phase.

Marriage Counseling or Couples Therapy:

We are the best therapists when it comes to your relationship. All of our couples therapists are trained in the researched based Gottman Method Couples Therapy which gives you actual tools to help you take this home with you so you change your relationship.  Including attachment theory, childhood wounding that cause triggers in your current relationship and differentiation and/or codependency issues if present in your relationship.

Coping with Divorce:

Going through a divorce is never easy, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our team offers compassionate support and effective co-parenting strategies, especially if you have children too.
