HOW THERAPY HELPS

A safe place to slow down and heal.

Our approach

Our Approach to Relationship Therapy & Counseling

Through the Emotionally Focused Therapy model (EFT) we uncover painful patterns of interaction where deep hurt and wounding has left us fearful and reacting and we begin to reconnect, repair and restore the bond that drew us together in the first place.

How it’s different

Couples Therapy is Not Individual Therapy with Your Partner in the Room

Couples work is focused on the relationship as the client. We work as therapists to understand how you feel when you are close to someone important to you and how you have learned in your own story to manage those feelings in the dance of your relationship. We give the relationship a safe space to heal and grow.

The impact

The Impact of a Relationship in Crisis

Doing work to heal your most important relationship can have a huge impact on the way the rest of your life feels to you. Think about how difficult it is to be at work, to parent, to enjoy the world around us when the one we love is hurting or when we are hurting ourselves in our key relationships.

Testimonial

Carla has created space for me to not only know my emotional experience well but also hold the full range of emotions and even the most challenging parts of myself with utmost compassion and honesty. She has been a wise counsel, trusted resource, and safe space through the many things life, marriage, work, and parenting has thrown at me. Even as a seasoned therapist myself, when I imagine a good therapeutic response and excellent care, I imagine Carla. I couldn't possibly recommend her or her practice more.

Testimonial

My therapist brings both expertise and genuine care to every session. She remembers what matters to me, comes prepared, and uses creative approaches to help me understand myself in ways I never could have on my own. If you're considering therapy but feeling unsure, I can't recommend it enough. Having that consistent support—someone who's in it with you through the hard times and celebrates the wins—has been invaluable. It's one of the best investments I've ever made in myself, and I only wish I had started sooner.

Testimonial

I wasn't sure what to expect when I started therapy, but it has genuinely changed my life. Over the past five years, I've learned that therapy isn't just about talking through problems—it's about having someone truly invested in understanding you and helping you grow. What surprised me most was how much having a skilled, compassionate guide makes a difference.

Testimonial

It is impossible to name all the ways I've grown and healed in my therapeutic work with Carla Babb. Working with her for the last decade has been one of the most fundamentally enriching and life-changing experiences of my days. Her warmth, empathy, and attunement has created a launch pad for me to become more centered, honest, authentic, and ultimately more myself.
