Los Gatos, California therapist: Peter Cellarius, marriage and family therapist
Relationship and Marriage Counseling

Peter Cellarius

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, SEP, EFT, EFIT
What does couples counseling look like? Each session is completely confidential. As we work together, you will learn how to communicate better, identify disruptive patterns, and work as a team. In our first meeting we’ll discuss your hopes, wishes and goals. My job is to build safety, make sure you are heard, and start to develop a view of what is going on under the covers. Often, deep emotions and longings drive our behaviors. That last fight may not be about his family or what you said. It may be about whether you feel you are still loved, that you matter to your partner, that you are cherished. These roots go deep. The approach I use, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), has over 30 years of research showing it works. 75% of couples who complete the sessions say their issues were resolved. Of these, over 90% say things are still as good, or better, two years later. EFT is powerful.

San Jose, California therapist: Russell Wilkie, marriage and family therapist
Relationship and Marriage Counseling

Russell Wilkie

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Relationships are difficult. It takes many very unnatural behaviors to create a high-quality relationship. Improving your reactions to your partner is the most important aspect and, since it is the only thing you can control anyway, this is your work. Whether it's in a couple’s session or you do the work individually, you will need to improve yourself and your reactivity and become a better you. Too many couples enter my office and expect me to change their partner because they want relief from their negative interactions. I will always gently steer things back to what you can do to make things better. My style is solution oriented, where I will give you all the tools I can in order to reduce conflict and increase connection, making a better relationship.
