Strengthen your relationship with yourself.

At Integrative Couples Therapy, we offer individual therapy that is relational in nature. This means we support your personal growth and healing, while recognizing the impact of relationships on your wellbeing. Therapy provides a place to reconnect with yourself and move through challenges with support and clarity.

Maybe you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck. You might be navigating the weight of depression, loss, or a major life transition. Parenting, family dynamics, or the demands of work may feel unmanageable. You may be wrestling with behaviors you want to change, or struggling in a strained relationship.

We provide individual therapy for people who want to better understand themselves, feel more grounded, and strengthen their connections with others.

Not all therapy takes relationships into account. Ours does. Many of our clients come to individual therapy because they want to start couples therapy but their partner is not interested. Others are already in couples therapy, and appreciate a space of their own to explore stress, loss, betrayal, or conflict that is impacting their wellbeing. Others are navigating anxiety, depression, or trauma that makes it hard to feel steady. Some are managing parenting challenges, complex family dynamics, or uncertainty during a life transition.

You might be:

• Wanting to attend couples therapy on your own (your partner is not ready, or willing, to attend)

• Struggling with mild to moderate anxiety or worry

• Feeling the weight of depression

• Navigating difficulties with focus, attention, and motivation

• Carrying grief or loss that feels too heavy to hold alone

• Facing parenting stress or family conflict

• Encountering heartbreak or a painful relationship dynamic

• Managing burnout from caregiving, work, or relationship roles

• Moving through a major transition such as divorce, career changes, or becoming a parent

We can help you feel more secure clear, and connected with yourself in the midst of life’s challenges.

Why work with us for individual therapy?

When you are struggling with relationship stress, it makes sense to work with someone who understands both individual and relational dynamics. As couples therapists, we are trained to see the patterns between people as well as the inner experiences that shape them. We can help you notice what you bring into your relationships, and how to make positive changes that benefit your overall wellbeing.

We do not pathologize relational pain or personal struggles. We hold your experience with compassion and direction.

Therapists trained in couples and family systems are especially skilled at supporting clients with complex emotions around love, belonging, identity, and change. We understand how attachment, family patterns, and nervous system responses influence your life and we bring this knowledge into every session so you feel seen, supported and primed for growth. You do not need to have it all figured out to begin therapy. All that is needed is a willingness to be open with yourself and a safe place to start. We provide that space.

What to expect

Individual therapy at Integrative Couples Therapy is relational, compassionate, and focused. We begin by learning about what brings you in to therapy and what you want for yourself. Together, we explore your emotions, your needs, and the patterns that may be getting in the way of what it is that you want.

We offer in-person sessions in Encinitas, California, and virtual therapy throughout the state. We will connect you with the therapist on our team who is the best fit for your needs.
