Couples Therapy in San Diego with Sabrina Parr, LMFT

---

 Couples often seek therapy for a variety of reasons, including communication difficulties, frequent arguments, infidelity, intimacy concerns, life transitions, and parenting challenges. Therapy provides a safe space to address these issues and develop strategies for healing and growth. 

If you're feeling stuck in unhealthy patterns, experiencing recurring conflict, or struggling to connect with your partner, couples therapy can be beneficial. It's an opportunity to learn new skills, gain a deeper understanding of each other, and strengthen your bond. 

 I utilize a combination of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs. These may include Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT) to identify past experiences which impact our current relationships, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to understand emotional patterns, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and change negative thought patterns to improve mental health and gain insight into communication and connection and Solution-Focused Therapy to build on your strengths.

The duration of therapy varies depending on your specific goals and the complexity of the issues you're addressing. Some couples may experience significant progress in a few months, while others may benefit from longer-term therapy. 

I am in-network with a couple of insurance companies and offer super bills for those whose insurance I do not accept. My private rate is $200 per session for individual therapy and $225 per session for couples/family therapy. I do offer a sliding scale for those who need financial support. I accept cash, checks, debit cards, credit cards and Health Savings Account (HSA) cards. It's important to discuss fees and payment options during the initial consultation. 

While the focus is on joint sessions, individual sessions may be incorporated if needed to address specific personal concerns that are impacting the relationship. This will be determined collaboratively based on your needs.

Yes, everything discussed in therapy sessions is strictly confidential, with some legal exceptions such as cases of suspected abuse or court orders.

It's not uncommon for one partner to be more hesitant than the other. I can help you navigate this and explore ways to encourage your partner to participate. Sometimes, starting with an individual session can be a helpful first step. 

Simply contact me by phone or email to schedule an initial consultation. We'll discuss your concerns and goals for therapy and determine how I can best support you. 

Absolutely! Couples therapy is beneficial for any committed couple(s), regardless of marital status. Whether you're dating, engaged, or cohabitating, therapy can help you build a stronger and more fulfilling relationship(s).
