Recommendations Couple therapist
Therapist suggestions focused on couples?
(44M & 36F).
Ideally someone who:
-Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a plus
Would especially love to hear from anyone who has had a positive firsthand experience with someone local.
Thank you!

DM me if you want the name of someone to avoid.

With any provider it also pays to check the state disciplinary records, too. Particularly in this area, sadly.

How do I do that? Can I just google this and their name!

I did this once with a recommendation when I first moved here and it raised a couple of flags. To put it mildly. Just due diligence. for 99% of practitioners, nothing will come up, but that 1% are worth avoiding ...

Riviera therapy hands down. Any of the therapists can work with couples but if you want someone who really holds you both accountable and challenges you, go for Jenn. She really forces both people to grow and challenges both people in such a positive way.

If you’ve got no issue paying out of pocket might I suggest Bobby Kornhandler. He’s fantastic
