Relationships are the center of this work
Ramin is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), which means his training focuses on relationships and the patterns between people. In couples therapy he helps each partner say what they actually mean, and hear what the other is actually saying.
The goal is not to decide who is right. It is to understand the cycle you get caught in and practice new ways to respond.
What we work on
Skills that change the pattern
Bring up a concern in a way your partner can actually hear.
Slow the conversation down so each person feels heard.
Small, specific ways to reconnect instead of waiting it out.
Clear steps for honesty, reassurance, and time.
The goal is not to decide who is right. It is to understand each other.
How online couples counseling works
Sessions are by secure video. You can join together from one screen or from two places, which helps when work schedules or travel make it hard to meet.
Either partner can reach out to book the free consultation. It is fine if one of you is more unsure than the other.
Before marriage or after a breakup
Couples therapy is not only for couples in trouble. Premarital counseling helps engaged couples build a strong foundation, and divorce and separation counseling helps partners who are deciding whether to part ways, or who have already decided, do it with less conflict.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Still wondering about something? Ask during your free consultation.
Is couples therapy the same as marriage counseling?
Yes. The terms are used interchangeably. Couples therapy is for any committed couple, married or not.
What if my partner does not want to come?
You can start with individual sessions. Changing how one person responds often changes the whole relationship, and your partner may choose to join later.
Is online therapy as effective as in-person therapy?
For many concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship issues, research has found video therapy to be comparable to in-person sessions. Many clients also find it easier to stay consistent when there is no commute.
Do you take insurance?
Sessions are private pay (out of network). During your free consultation you can ask about using out-of-network benefits with your insurance plan.
How much does therapy cost?
Individual sessions are $250 and couples sessions are $500. The first consultation is free. Sessions are private pay, and Ramin is an out-of-network provider.
Who can you see?
Because Ramin is licensed in California, he can see clients who are located in California at the time of the session, anywhere in the state, from San Diego to the Bay Area.
