Welcome

​I am Cristina Trette, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in couples therapy and counseling for parents and families. Currently I offer virtual sessions for those located in the State of California. My office is located in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Encinitas, California.

Practice Focus

Couples Therapy

In couples therapy we focus on helping partners communicate, enhance intimacy, and resolve conflict. Concerns brought forward often consist of fighting, sex, finances, parenting, infidelity, and loss of connection. Couples therapy typically results in great communication and deep connection.

Family Therapy

In family therapy we focus on helping parents and their children communicate and strengthen relationships. Depending on the concerns brought forward, therapy may consist of parents, children, siblings, and extended family. The result is strong bonds, open communication, and joyful families.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy we explore ones inner experience. Areas of focus generally include romantic relationships, parenting, anxiety, depression, or substance use. Therapy allows one to make sense of thoughts and feelings, uncover blocks, and cultivate wellbeing. ​

Other Services

In addition to private sessions, I offer the following services:

Workshops

I facilitate The Hold me Tight Couples Workshop and The Joy of Parenting throughout the year in various locations around San Diego County. 

Speaking

I offer speaking engagements and facilitation for private groups and organizations. Contact me directly by cell or email for more information.
