Our Approach to Therapy in Pasadena
Couples Therapy in Pasadena: EFT and Restoration Therapy
At our Pasadena office, couples therapy helps partners navigate emotional tension or distance. Our therapists, located across from Urth Cafe in the Playhouse District, guide couples to understand core issues and express emotions in ways that build trust and intimacy. This vulnerable process is supported by our skilled Pasadena counselors.
EFT
Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy helps Pasadena couples shift from “secondary” emotions (like anger or withdrawal) to “primary” attachment emotions. By practicing open expression, partners foster trust and secure attachment, creating a cascading effect of closeness.
Restoration Therapy
Restoration Therapy moves couples from a “pain cycle” to a “peace cycle.” Our Pasadena therapists help couples build awareness of their patterns, self-reflect, and express emotions before conflicts escalate, deepening understanding and connection.
Trauma Therapy in Pasadena
Psychoanalytic Therapy
Many Pasadena therapists at our Playhouse District office are trained in psychoanalytic therapy, recognizing how early experiences shape your emotions and relationships. In our safe Pasadena space, your mind enters a “plastic” mode, processing and resolving emotional experiences. This is especially powerful for trauma, as it helps you move beyond old fear responses to live fully in the present with clarity and empowerment.
Somatic Therapy in Pasadena
Somatic therapy at our Pasadena office focuses on the body to treat trauma. Emotions are expressed through bodily signals—like a tightening gut or slumping posture. By tuning into these, our therapists help you understand and soothe your emotional state, using tailored exercises to promote healing. Learn more here
