Groups & Master Classes
If you are looking for a breakthrough in your intimate relationship, consider signing up for a Couples Master Class or a Group Therapy event. These in-person events will offer relationship coaching by Relationship Therapist, Susie Ortega, trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). In Master Classes, Susie takes traditional talk-therapy outside of the therapy office space, to coach and engage couples in bonding experiences through the arts. The arts encourage emotional healing by using the creative process to give voice when words are not enough.
For over 20 years Susie has practiced the art of connecting with people in distress. In the last 5 years, she has sharpened this craft, by focusing on couples needing to heal relationship injuries and deepen emotional connection. She teaches couples the tools to effectively connect with their intimate partner, by rehearsing how to be an accurate witness to their own bodies, honoring their lived experiences, and defining their own worth. Susie uses her training in EFCT, rooted in Attachment Theory, to help couples gain relational self-awareness and learn to turn towards each other when it matters most!
