Icfe

The Institute for Couple and Family Enhancement (ICFE) is a therapy practice based in San Antonio, Texas, established in 2010 by Dr. Becky R. Davenport, Ph. D., LMFT-S. With a decade of clinical practice, teaching, and supervision under her belt, Dr. Davenport recognized the need for specialized therapy services for couples and families in the area. At ICFE, we believe that relationships are a fundamental part of life, and when they are strong, they provide us with a sense of security, connection, and confidence. However, when relationships encounter problems, it can lead to feelings of despair, disconnection, and frustration that negatively impact all aspects of life. Our mission is to provide quality, relationship-focused services that not only help clients address the problems that brought them to therapy but also help them build secure, resilient relationships and positive self-confidence that allow changes obtained in therapy to continue throughout their lives.

Services Offered by ICFE

At ICFE, we offer a range of therapy services tailored to meet the unique needs of individuals, couples, children, and families. Our clinicians are all Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) or Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associates (LMFT-Associates) with significant training and experience working with couples and families. We provide therapy services in-person and through telehealth, making it easier for clients to access the care they need from the comfort of their own homes.

Our therapy services include:

• Individual Therapy: We provide solution-focused, compassionate individual therapy for life's challenges and transitions. Our approach is tailored to meet the unique needs of each client, and we collaborate together to find ways to eliminate the problems they are encountering while also strengthening vital relationships.
• Couples Therapy: Our couple therapists are experts in relational therapy, providing couple therapy for all couples, regardless of their background or relationship status. Whether you are seeking premarital counseling, discernment counseling for couples on the brink of divorce, or relationship therapy, we can help you and your partner build a stronger, more resilient relationship.
• Child and Family Therapy: We provide therapy services for children and families, recognizing the importance of the family system in a child's life. Play therapy is a key modality used to help children heal and learn, using play as the language of healing. Our therapists work with families to address the unique needs of each family member while also strengthening vital relationships within the family system.
• Trauma, Grief, and Loss Therapy: Our therapists understand how to help clients heal from trauma, grief, and loss. We provide a safe, supportive space for clients to process their experiences and emotions, while also building resilience and coping skills.
• Discernment Counseling: For couples on the brink of divorce, we provide discernment counseling to help couples gain confidence and clarity about what is next. This type of therapy provides a structured, supportive space for couples to explore their options and make informed decisions about the future of their relationship.

At ICFE, we recognize that therapy is an investment in yourself, your relationships, and your future. That's why we offer a range of therapy options, including telehealth, groups, and lower-cost therapy options through the New Ways for Families program. We are committed to making quality therapy services accessible and affordable for all clients.
