If you’re carrying the weight of old hurt, reeling from a loss, or finding that anxiety, depression, or constant conflict is wearing you down, you’re not alone. I know how painful it is when conversations turn into fights, when past trauma won’t let you rest, or when a big life change leaves you unsure of your next step.
I work with individuals, couples, and families—including high-conflict partners, interfaith premarital couples, military families, and those healing after divorce—who are ready to understand patterns and grow kinder with themselves and each other. Together, we can turn stuck places into opportunities for relief, clarity, and connection.
I’m Dr. Claire Vines Psy.D., LMFT, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California with 20 years of experience. I hold a Psy.D., and I draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and marriage & family therapy to help you strengthen connection, improve communication, and rebuild trust. We’ll gently address abuse and trauma, anxiety, depression, and the coping skills that make daily life feel manageable. My style is warm, steady, and practical. I honor diverse identities and offer care in English, French, and Spanish.
If this resonates, let’s talk. A first conversation can be the easiest way to feel a little less alone and begin the change you’ve been hoping for.
