Dr. Trish Stanley
The Center for Couples Therapy
The Center for Couples Therapy seeks to connect couples for healing, improving or enhancing their relationship with our team of ten highly skilled, broadly trained, long experienced and compassionate couples therapists. We are always creating additional ways to support relationships through weekend couples workshops, couples intensive retreats and our marriage preparation course. We work in person in San Diego County and virtually throughout California. Couples come from all over the country for our workshops and intensives.
One of the things that makes us unique as a group practice is the range of training in a wide variety of couples therapy approaches our therapists use. These include the Gottman Method, the Developmental Model, Emotionally-focused Couples Therapy, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Informed Therapy.
In addition to weekly and biweekly individual and couples therapy, we present a small group (seven couples) Art & Science of Love Couples Workshops six times a year, based on the research of John and Julie Gottman. For the past several years, we've been offering Couples Intensive Therapy Retreats for one couple at a time. And our newest offering is an individualized three hour Premarital Course, a wonderful introduction to managing most of the issues that come up for couples planning a wedding as well as couples deciding to live together.
