Couples Therapy with Cassandra Falby, LMFT for people who want to change.

HOW IT WORKS

The 2023 study found that when one or both partners repeatedly avoid difficult conversations, it can lead to negative feelings about the relationship and activate the body’s fight-or-flight response. This often escalates tension and makes resolving issues even harder.

This program and counseling are designed to help couples break this cycle. Let me show you how we can work together to create a healthier, more connected relationship…

Relationship Refresh Program Steps

Cassandra Falby, LMFT

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist

Hey there, I'm Cassandra Falby. Feel free to use pronouns they or she when referring to me. My online practice is based on the unceded Chochenyo Ohlone Land (San Francisco Bay Area). I bring a unique blend of experiences to my practice as a Caribbean American of African descent and a genderqueer femme. I am licensed to practice with clients in California, Oregon and Michigan only.

My personal and professional journeys include creative tech environments, various non-profit therapeutic settings, and community cancer care. Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with couples to address unhelpful relationship dynamics, broken trust, identity exploration, chronic illness, and neurotype differences.

In my work with couples, my approach incorporates Gottman Method, Attachment Theory, and some IFS principles. In sessions, I strive to create a collaborative environment, utilizing your relationship's strengths in service of your larger goals.

I firmly believe that everyone deserves the chance to heal and grow. I'd be honored to support your relationship's unique journey (think of me as a warmer, more personable Siri).
