Make room for a different conversation
You may be arguing about the same things, struggling to explain what you need, or feeling distant even when you spend time together. Parenting, changing roles, and major life transitions can also put pressure on a relationship.
Couples therapy creates space to explore these experiences together. The focus is on understanding patterns, communicating needs, and considering what greater connection could look like for both of you.
Support shaped around your relationship
Rachel Schulz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and co-owner of Creekside Counseling in Walnut Creek. Her practice offers care for couples, individuals, and families, with a collaborative approach grounded in warmth and curiosity.
The team includes associate therapists who work with couples under Rachel’s supervision. When you reach out, you can describe the concerns bringing you to therapy and ask about the clinician whose approach fits your needs.
Taking the first step together
An initial inquiry can be brief. You might mention communication difficulties, relationship strain, a family transition, or simply wanting to feel closer. Rachel can answer questions about availability, fees, and how to begin.
The Walnut Creek office is at 1470 Maria Lane, Suite 460. You can also explore the team’s profiles before deciding whom you would like to contact.
Questions about starting
Do we need to agree on the problem before reaching out?
You can ask about therapy even when you have different perspectives. A short introduction about what each of you hopes to explore can help start the conversation about fit.
Can therapy also address parenting and family changes?
The practice offers support for parenting, family relationships, and life transitions. Ask Rachel which service and therapist would fit the people and concerns involved.
