Providing couples and marriage counseling, family therapy, teen counseling and individual therapy in the Tri-Valley and East Bay area through our offices in Pleasanton & Alameda. About Us We believe that at the core, much of our human distress is caused by relationship "malfunction". All of us have difficulties at times with partners or parents, co-workers or kids, peers, and bosses. You might be in an addictive or unhealthy relationship with a person, a substance or a behavior - we believe these can be transformed. We believe in the great potential of healing relationships. Our mission is to compassionately and effectively work with you to improve or change the relationships you have that are causing you distress. We serve our clients with respect, transparency and consistency. There is no mystery in our approaches to therapy. We value the research-based and evidence-based methods we specialize in. We discuss our approaches with you before beginning treatment and during the course of therapy. It is important that you know the “why” and the “how” of therapy and that it makes sense to you so that you can take this information forward after you leave the therapy room. You have the life experience and desire to make changes; we have the training and specialized knowledge to help you make them.
