Therapy for couples and individuals wanting to grow- not just get by.
You love each other- but let’s be real, it hasn’t felt easy lately. You’re stuck in the same arguments, tiptoeing around certain topics, or feeling more alone than connected.
Whether you’re just starting out or have been together for years, therapy can help you understand each other better, communicate with less tension, and actually feel like a team again.
And if you’re working through things on your own, we’ll dive into the patterns, strengthen your self-trust and help you show up in a way that feels good and true for you.
Emily Fiedtkou
Hi, I’m Emily, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in Santa Barbara, California. As someone who understands how messy relationships and life transitions can feel, I’m here to create a space where you can explore the hard stuff—without judgment. Whether you’re working through challenges with your partner or finding the confidence to show up authentically in your relationships, therapy with me can help you feel more grounded, more connected, and more you.
Individual work
Talking to friends or family can feel risky or biased, and you’re craving honest, grounded support. Maybe you’re unsure about the next step in your relationship. Or maybe you just want to feel more confident, clear, and connected- both with yourself and your partner.
This is your space to unpack it all, ask the hard questions, and grow into the version of you that knows what you need and how to ask for it.
Couples Therapy
You want your relationship to work- but there are a few things that feel off or like they could use attention. Maybe small disagreements are piling up. Or you have very different emotional styles. Or maybe you’re not fighting, but you’re not feeling as connected as you used to. You’re looking for a space that’s neutral, supportive and real- where you can work through communication hiccups, strengthen your connection, and have the kinds of conversations that bring clarity, not confusion.
How It Feels During Therapy
In our sessions, you’ll feel heard, supported, and understood—like you’re having a deep, thoughtful conversation with someone who truly gets it. No fluff, no pressure, just space to explore what matters most to you. I use evidence-based practices such as Dialectical behavior therapy and The Gottman Method so you’re getting proven tools that actually work.
