About Cristina Trette

Hello! I am Cristina Trette, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in relationships. I am passionate about helping others create thriving romantic and family relationships. It is my purpose in life to bring healing conversations and connecting experiences to as many people as possible. I am also the owner of Integrative Family Therapy a small group therapy practice that offers a holistic approach to relationship and mental health counseling. 

I hold a Masters Degree in Martial and Family Therapy and a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from the University of San Diego. I am immersed in the study and application of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EFT is considered the gold standard evidence-based practice specifically designed to improve romantic and family relationships. I currently serve as Chair on the board for the San Diego Center for Emotionally Focused Therapy. When I am not with clients you can find me at the beach, trail running, or relaxing with my family.
