Relationship Counseling Center, Marriage Therapist, Couples Counselor & Individual Therapy in San Francisco

The Relationship Counseling Center in San Francisco specializes in couples counseling and marriage counseling, with the goal of guiding clients toward healthier, more productive relationship patterns. Our San Francisco counselors are licensed marriage and family therapists with experience helping couples work through their relationship issues. Additionally, all of our counselors receive ongoing training in couples therapy and marriage counseling. If you are looking for a down-to-earth therapist who integrates interactive exchange, direct feedback, and goal-focused couples counseling, you’ve come to the right place.

To benefit from relationship therapy, it is not always necessary to attend sessions as a couple. Both couples and individuals find it helpful to talk about their relationships in order to develop better understanding and learn more effective ways of handling relationship issues. Our therapists teach communication skills to individual clients as well as to couples, whether married or unmarried, slowing things down to help both parties achieve a deeper understanding. The goal, always, is to make your relationship a more joyful, more healthy place to be.

The Relationship Counseling Center has offices throughout the Bay Area, in San Francisco, Berkeley, Marin, and Palo Alto. We offer both daytime and evening appointments, Monday through Friday. Call us with any questions or concerns or to schedule a session. Our relationship experts are more than happy to talk with you, and we can usually make an appointment with relatively short notice.

Reviews from external sources like Yelp/Google for our RCC Couples Counseling

I've done my fair share of counseling over the years. All therapists seem to have their own style. What I loved about the Relationship Couples Counseling Center is from the get-go I felt my therapist understood what was going on and offered us goals to work toward. We received a perceptive, caring and honest response to our situation, even if it stings sometimes, I really appreciate the feedback and down-to-earth approach.

The main issue most couples encounter is effective or ineffective communication. I appreciate the way we where allowed to talk to each other, and at the same time create boundaries that allow us to feel safe to share. Both my husband and I felt like our therapist cared about us equally, and was able to approach/communicate with us in a way that made sense. Each of us needs things to be spelled out in a different way.

Honestly, my marriage with my husband is great. Just need a few minor adjustments from time-to-time. If you want to get a tune-up in your relationship or a deep cleaning I wouldn't go anywhere else.

After every visit with my therapist, I feel more hopeful about myself and my life. I am so happy I took the suggestion to go here and I recommend the center highly.

Hello, my name is Sevin Philips. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist and I’m the founder of the Relationship Counseling Center in San Francisco. Relationships can be profoundly satisfying when they work. As many of us find out, when they break down, it’s sometimes the most difficult time of our life. We not only understand this; we specialize in helping you overcome your relationship issues. One thing that sets us apart is our approach to therapy. Clients often find it refreshing that we’re interactive, heartfelt, and goal-directed. In other words, you’re not just coming in and talking about your relationships each and every session, we’re actively helping you develop effective tools that actually make the difference in your relationships – because ultimately, you don’t want to be in therapy. You want your life to change. Perhaps you found stuck in your relationship or maybe something has happened that you didn’t expect or you’re just having some communication difficulties. It could be really helpful having a third party help you navigate these places. It doesn’t necessarily mean long-term therapy. In fact, a lot of people find that short-term therapy is a really great way to set you in the right direction. I have relationship articles and videos online. You can find those on my website. In addition, I welcome you to give me a call to see if there are any questions that I can answer or if there’s anything I can do to help. Thank you so much. Bye-bye.
