Couples Therapy in San Diego: More Love, Less Conflict
At Gerard Counseling, I specialize in Couples Therapy in San Diego to help partners heal, grow, and reconnect. With compassionate guidance and proven therapeutic approaches, I assist couples in restoring trust, enhancing communication, and rediscovering joy in their relationships. Let’s collaborate to build a stronger, more loving future together.
After 20+ years of marriage, it’s natural for relationships to evolve. The spark you once felt may have dimmed, or the empty nest may leave you wondering, “What’s next for us?” If you’re feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure about the future of your relationship, you’re not alone.
As a couples therapist in San Diego, I specialize in helping couples in their 40s, 50s, and 60s navigate this unique stage of life. Whether you’re facing the challenges of empty nesting, high conflict, or simply feeling like roommates, I’ll help you breathe new life into your marriage and rediscover the joy of being together.
Using evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method techniques, and mindfulness-based practices, I’ll help you and your partner:
- Improve communication and resolve conflicts constructively.
- Rebuild trust and emotional intimacy.
- Navigate life transitions, such as parenting, career changes, or loss.
- Strengthen your connection and create a more fulfilling relationship.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward a healthier, happier relationship, I’m here to help. Contact me today to schedule a free consultation for couples therapy in San Diego.
“Through Couples Therapy in San Diego, we can restore trust in your relationship, understand how the loving connection was lost, express unshared inner feelings, and gain a better understanding of your partnership.”
My Approach
Strength-Based Focus
I believe every relationship has strengths to build on. Together, we’ll identify what’s already working and use it as a foundation for growth.
Reigniting the Spark
Through guided conversations and practical tools, I’ll help you reconnect emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Navigating Transitions
Whether you’re adjusting to life as empty nesters or redefining your roles, I’ll help you create a shared vision for the future.
High Conflict Resolution
For couples in high-conflict situations, I provide a safe space to address underlying issues and rebuild trust.
Meet Your Therapist
Carolyn Gerard, MFT
As a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist since 1985, with over 30 years of marriage and experience raising five children, I understand the various phases couples experience in long-term relationships. My personal and professional journey equips me to guide you through Couples Therapy in San Diego effectively.
“The best experience of working through conflict has been utilizing the skills I’ve learned from my education and training within my 40-year marriage and raising our five (now adult) children. It’s a humbling experience that challenges one to grow in truth and love.”
