Marriage & Family Therapy: Individuals, Couples, Families, Teens, Children -- for mental & emotional health, well being, enhanced relationships, happiness

FREE Consultation. Discount for pre-paid sessions. My clients tell me they feel lighter and better beginning with the very first session. I balance warmth and empathy with a great deal of education, experience, and expertise. I focus on solutions and strengths, and help people to enrich their lives and relationships. Well-being, health, and happiness are enhanced as I blend a number of therapeutic modalities that work with the conscious and unconscious mind, including mindfulness, meaningfulness, and trance work. I develop a unique blend of approaches for each individual, I also bring a wealth of psychoeducation and knowledge to share and apply about state-of-the-art research in areas such as love, relationships, parenting, communication, happiness, and well-being. Couples: Whether early in your relationship or deep into a long-term commitment, couples counseling is powerfully effective. In my experience as a psychotherapist, change happens rapidly and profoundly. This comes from my expertise in cutting-edge research about what works in couples counseling, my intuitive-empathic abilities to understand each unique journey, and my strength and skill to apply these with balance, care, and even fun. Individuals: Uncover sources of depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, and other challenges. Make real and positive changes to live your life joyfully and meaningfully. Families: Parenting, teens, children -- my toolbox is full of wonderful ways to make things better fast. History

Growth may not be visible outwardly -- but we are preparing for something phenomenol! "A Chinese bamboo tree takes five years to grow. It has to be watered and fertilized in the ground where it has been planted every day. It doesn't break through the ground for five years. After five years, once it breaks through the ground, it will grow 90 feet tall in five weeks!"

Our Story

Sea-Change means profound transformations! Text Dr. Ruthie 310-995-9356 to schedule and begin yours. Therapy is a tremendously positive, proactive, courageous step to enhance and activate your strengths, learn new insights and tools, and achieve growth, enlightenment, and enriched relationships. Communication for better connection, intimacy, and happiness. Heal emotional wounds and learn concrete tools. I use a solutions-focused approach with concrete tools to reach your goals. Happy to provide a free 20-min consult, by phone or in person. My warm, empathetic style, calm voice of experience and expertise help clients quickly feel at ease in a safe place of acceptance and care. Most say they feel lighter and empowered after a session. A big plus: my almost double sessions: 90-min 1st session, 75-min after that (45-52 min elsewhere). Research says these long sessions are most cost- and time-effective. I find progress to be much more than double: a wise choice for my clients who want to get better faster. Rates: $310 for 1 session, $290/sess for pack of 4, $279/sess for 8, and $268/sess for 12.
