Best Couples Therapist Summary

The best type of therapist for couples is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) or someone with specialized training in couples counseling. Look for someone experienced in modalities like EFT or the Gottman Method who makes both partners feel safe and understood.

Best Couples Therapist  Detail

A skilled couples therapist understands not only relationship dynamics, but also the individual emotional needs and histories each partner brings. LMFTs are trained specifically in relational therapy, and those with certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy or the Gottman Method bring powerful, proven tools to the process.

In my practice in Campbell, California, I create a supportive environment where both partners can speak openly, feel heard, and move toward healing. Finding a therapist who works well with both of you is essential to creating progress and safety in couples therapy.
