About Cristina Trette
I offer counseling, coaching, and education in a private practice setting located within The Soul of Yoga in Encinitas, California. I work primarily with parents and couples. I also counsel children and teens.
I have a Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from The University of San Diego. I have completed the first level of training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy and in process of receiving advanced training in the model. I received my Life Coach certification through Your Infinite Life Training and Coaching Company and am a Joy of Parenting Instructor Training with Susie Walton.
I believe we all have the capacity to flourish. When encountering obstacles in life, this can be an invitation to grow in mind, body, and spirit. My specialties include providing counseling to adults and children experiencing challenges with marital and family distress, relationships, parenting, divorce, loss, life transitions, stress, anxiety, and depression. I also provide general life and wellness coaching.
I am the Co-Founder of Elevating Connection, which is an workshop business that provides relationship education to couples. My interest in working with couples was inspired through my experiences in counseling children and teens. What became clear to me was that most of the children who were struggling, had parents who were facing difficulties in marriage or going through a divorce.
When parents are able to come together and work on improving their marriage or co-parenting relationship, the challenges with their children tend to be addressed simultaneously.
Previously, I provided services in the transformational recovery program at Shakti Rising which is an organization in San Diego supporting women who are overcoming addictions, trauma, and abuse. Prior to that, I provided counseling at High Tech schools with children, between the ages of 5 and 18, and their parents.
I am committed to a biopsychosocial-spiritual perspective which means I consider the whole person and system in my approach. My theoretical orientation is based on Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy. I completed Ananda Yoga Teacher Training at The Expanding Light in Nevada City, CA.
