Carlsbad Couples Therapy

If you live in Carlsbad, CA and are considering couples therapy, let us introduce you to Dr. Jaclyn Grad at Playa Vida Therapy and Wellness. Dr. Grad is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in helping couples build closeness and connection, manage conflict effectively, and create a sense of shared meaning. She has particular expertise in helping clients where one or both of the partners has experienced trauma.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy

Dr. Grad specifically uses Gottman Method Couples Therapy. This method of therapy is backed by decades of research and focuses on teaching couples skills to improve their relationship. The couple can take these skills and utilize them for the rest of their relationship. Some of the skills you would learn include establishing rituals of connection, building positive sentiment, talking about difficult issues effectively, managing gridlocked issues, and helping couples to feel truly known and supported by their partner.

Couples therapy in a virtual environment

Dr. Grad provides therapy via telehealth. This means that a couple can participate from the comfort of their own home. Virtual therapy increases convenience and hassle. No more sitting in traffic, driving to an appointment across town. It also helps couples to generalize skills to their own environment. What good are the skills if you only use them one time a week when you are in the therapist office?
