Not Just Marriage Counseling in California

It is never too early in a relationship to begin laying the foundations for a successful relationship – no matter what stage you are in.

Experienced California counselors are available for anyone, not just “conventional” couples. If you are in an intimate relationship and would like to strengthen your bonds, improve your communication skills, and increase your intimacy, then we have counselors available for you.

California is the Home of the Development Model of Relationship Counseling

Created by Dr. Ellyn Bader and Dr. Peter Pearson more than 30 years ago, The Developmental Model has helped tens of thousands of couples over multiple decades. Hundreds of professional therapists and counselors visit The Couples Institute in Menlo Park, California, to attend training programs every year.

The Developmental Model encourages you and your partner to view your relationship challenges as part of a natural and normal struggle for psychological growth and wholeness. It helps you not focus on conflicts or problems but on your shared strengths. The Developmental Model encourages you to seek growth, change, and forward momentum together.

Couples develop in stages, similar to how people evolve through phases in life. Sometimes a couple gets stuck in a particular developmental stage and grows overly focused on each other’s flaws. A couples counselor trained in the Developmental Model knows how to help you refocus you and your partner on your strengths so that you both move towards greater relationship satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Couples therapy aims at someone with trouble in their relationship while everyone else goes to counseling to strengthen the marriage. It provides the necessary coping tools to handle upcoming problems healthily.

When considering marriage counseling, the best type of practitioner varies depending on the preferences, needs, and circumstances of the individual and/or couple. Ultimately, the best practitioner for marriage counseling is someone who aligns with the couple’s goals, values, and communication style, and who possesses the necessary expertise and training to address the specific needs of the couple effectively. It’s important for couples to research and interview potential practitioners to find the right fit for their relationship journey. GrowMyRelationship.com connects you with marriage practitioners who are trained in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy and have experience in working with couples.

Whether married couples should see the same therapist is a personal decision that depends on individual circumstances and preferences. Some couples find it beneficial to see the same therapist, as it allows for a comprehensive understanding of the relationship dynamics. It can promote open communication and shared insights. However, other couples may prefer to see separate therapists to ensure individual perspectives are addressed. Ultimately, the choice should be based on the most comfortable and effective for the couple.

Coach

A relationship coach supports couples in learning vital partnership skills and helps you to develop conflict resolution skills, offering tools to achieve a thriving, healthy relationship. Coaches tend to focus on the present and creating an inspired future.

All well-trained relationship specialists seek to offer advice, feedback, observations, and homework to help your relationship evolve. Therapists and counselors have mandatory educational and licensing requirements that are determined by the state or country in which they practice. Coaches do not.

Clinical Social Worker
All well-trained relationship specialists seek to offer advice, feedback, observations, and homework to help your relationship evolve.

This profession usually requires two years of study after obtaining an undergraduate degree. While specific licensure requirements vary by state, most require clinical social workers to obtain 3,000 hours or 2 years of supervised clinical experience, after obtaining a Masters degree. Social workers can also specialize in diverse fields such as human services management, social welfare analysis, community organizing, social and community development, and social and political research.

As you know, this is not an easy task when you and your partner are struggling to communicate, cooperate, and connect. This is where a highly trained guide is especially valuable.

The license also requires 3000 hours of supervised work and passing written exams.

Counselors and therapists may make situational determinations about how deep to go into the personal history of each partner. They may seek to help you see where certain unhelpful patterns of behavior originated. 

Clinical Psychologist
All well-trained relationship specialists seek to offer advice, feedback, observations, and homework to help your relationship evolve.

After graduating from college, it usually takes about five years of graduate school to get a Ph.D. in Psychology. It then requires an additional two years of supervision and passing a written (and often) an oral exam. There are a few states that allow psychologists to prescribe medications (with additional training) but that is uncommon.

Our professionals can guide you to clarify your individual goals as well as enable you to develop mutually agreed upon and supported relationship goals.

Psychiatrists can prescribe medications.
