A Foundation Built on Research-Backed Expertise

Safe Space Marriage & Family Counseling provides couples in Santa Clarita, California with the tools and guidance they need to build and strengthen their relationships. We are passionate about helping couples overcome challenges, communication issues, and intimacy problems.

Our approach is founded on the evidence-based Gottman Method, which has been proven to support long-lasting and meaningful relationship change. Unlike traditional therapy models, the Gottman Method focuses on identifying and addressing specific challenges within a relationship, rather than simply addressing individual symptoms.

What Sets Us Apart?

We believe in personalized and comprehensive care. That's why we begin every engagement with a 4-session Gottman Assessment. This in-depth assessment allows us to:

• Identify the strengths and weaknesses of your relationship
• Understand each individual's needs and concerns
• Develop targeted and specific goals for therapy

1. Couples Assessment

This intensive assessment helps couples identify the underlying issues in their relationship. It provides valuable insights to:

• Communication break downs
• Trust issues
• Intimacy problems
• Conflict resolution challenges

2. Affair & Betrayal Recovery

If trust has been broken by betrayal, our therapy can help:

• Restore trust and intimacy
• Communicate effectively about painful occurrences
• Develop strategies for preventing future betrayals

3. Couples Workshops

These workshops offer:

• A non-judgmental and supportive environment
• Opportunity to learn and grow with your partner
• Practical tools for stronger communication and conflict resolution
