Couples Therapy in Pasadena

JOHN ALLAN WHITACRE, AMFT

You both deserve deeper connection through couples therapy

I can help you move from endless cycles of pain to deeper connection.

You wish to be seen and heard, but every attempt to connect with your partner leaves you nowhere, like two ships passing in the night. Or worse yet, once you do talk openly with your partner, the swirl of emotions becomes overwhelming, ending in a painful argument. Every day, you feel lost and sometimes you just wish you could feel secure in your relationships 

I can help you move from endless cycles of pain to deeper connection.

We can turn difficult conversations into deeper connection. In couples therapy, you’ll learn how to be more empathetic with each other, have healthy arguments, and feel loved in the relationship. I’m trained in Restoration Therapy, a structured process that helps couples become aware of their patterns and engage in healthy conversation.

Your relationship is worth the investment and repair, and our time together can lead to the flourishing connection you both deserve. Reach out today to schedule a call with me.

01

How much do sessions cost?

My fee is $150/session. I occasionally can accommodate sliding scale appointments. I offer super bills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Call our care coordinator with any questions about fee.

02

What kinds of problems do you help with?

I help couples move through spaces of high reactivity into meaningful connection with each other. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and neurodevelopmental disorders such as ADHD and ASD. My goal is to create a space where clients can feel more connected to themselves and others.

What do you like about being a therapist?

I believe that when the client and therapist are bringing their full self into the conversation, healing is just around the corner. I also love seeing the little spark in each person that makes us all human. We each have our own unique way of connecting with the world, and I love exploring it!
