SANTA BARBARA INTEGRATED THERAPY
Our associate therapists are dedicated to providing compassionate and effective counseling services. Our mission is to support our clients in navigating life's challenges, fostering personal growth, and achieving mental and emotional well-being. We offer a safe and supportive environment where clients can openly discuss their concerns and work towards resolving their issues. Our team specializes in a variety of therapeutic approaches, ensuring that we can offer personalized care tailored to the unique needs of each client.

INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
For those seeking personal development, coping strategies for stress, anxiety, depression, managing life transitions and more.

COUPLES COUNSELING
Utilizing Gottman and EFT techniques, our work aims at enhancing communication, resolving conflicts, grieving changes and resolving PTSD symptoms due to infidelity, and strengthening relationships.

FAMILY THERAPY
Designed to improve family dynamics, address behavioral issues, and foster a harmonious home environment. Empowering children and teens to find security and identity while cultivating awareness and coping skills to navigate challenges such as social media and screen usage, peer relationships, and dynamics with family members.

ADDICTION
Addictions are painfully disruptive. They steal time, energy, and money, and can result in losses of relationships, jobs, freedom, and lives. As addiction expert Dr. Gabor Mate says, “Addiction is the opposite of connection." At SBIT we understand how challenging it can be to change habits and focus on rewiring behaviors. We have helped many clients recover from addictions and attain self-confidence in their abilities to maintain balance. We have helped loved ones find relief from PTSD symptoms and codependency related to having a relationship with someone who struggles with addictive behaviors. We are confident in our work with issues such as substance use, porn and sex addiction/infidelity, gambling, screen addiction (social media, internet, television, etc.) Our experience also includes working with OCD and eating disorders. We assist friends and family members in learning boundaries and turning the focus on their own healing rather than on their addicted loved ones so that everyone may have the space to walk their own path toward well-being. Our clients develop the necessary awareness and skills to navigate the pain and challenges associated with addiction, no matter what stage of change they are in.

ADHD
Our approach to treating ADHD integrates psychodynamic, attachment, and parts work perspectives while emphasizing the importance of clients processing their feelings and lived experiences. We help individuals explore how attention and regulation challenges intersect with relationship dynamics, self-esteem, and emotional pain, supporting them in rewiring patterns and acquiring coping skills that foster empowerment. Our team has received in-depth training on ADHD and works with diverse individuals, couples, and families to honor each client’s unique emotional experience while building practical strategies for thriving in daily life.

GRIEF & LOSS
Our work with grief and loss centers on creating space for clients to explore the depth of their emotional experience, including the often overlooked realities of disenfranchised grief and ambiguous loss. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, we guide individuals in understanding how loss shapes identity, relationships, and meaning, while supporting them in integrating these experiences into their lives. Through psychodynamic, attachment, and parts work approaches, our team helps clients honor their pain, cultivate resilience, and discover pathways toward healing and connection.
