Couples counseling in Hollywood, reconnect.

Hollywood, FL

About working with clients from Hollywood.

Hollywood is a south-Broward beach city with real range — an arts-district downtown, the boardwalk, dense neighborhoods, and a deeply diverse population. The relationships that walk into therapy here are equally varied: long-married parents, blended families, newer couples figuring it out, partners in creative industries with unpredictable schedules.

Maria's office is about 25 to 30 minutes west in Weston. Some Hollywood couples come in person for evening sessions; many prefer secure telehealth to skip the rush-hour drive. The work is the same either way — what matters is the consistency.

Sessions are warm, structured, and non-blaming. The focus is the pattern between you — how arguments start, what each of you is actually asking for, how repair happens when conversations break. With 30+ years of experience, Maria has sat with most of the shapes a long relationship can take.

Bilingual throughout (English / Español) — useful in a city as international as Hollywood, and especially for bicultural couples whose families, holidays, and unspoken rules don't always match.

What we work on

The shape of the work.

  • De-escalating recurring conflict
  • Communication that lands
  • Repair after rupture or affair
  • Rebuilding trust
  • Intimacy and connection
  • Blended families and step-parenting
  • Creative-industry schedules and stress
  • Bilingual / bicultural couples

Modality

Relational work, paced and humane.

Couples work draws on evidence-based methods and three decades of practice. Sessions stay structured so neither partner leaves more flooded than they arrived. When older wounds show up in current arguments, EMDR-informed tools can support repair.

Common questions — Hollywood

A few specifics.

How far is your Weston office from Hollywood?

About 25 to 30 minutes west, longer at rush hour depending on whether you're closer to the beach or to I-95. Many Hollywood couples prefer evening in-person sessions or secure telehealth.

Do you work with non-traditional couples and partnerships?

Yes. Hollywood is a creative, diverse community, and the practice is welcoming to couples of all configurations and identities. The focus is the relationship in front of you.

Can we do bilingual sessions?

Sí. Sessions can be held in English, in Spanish, or moving fluidly between the two — useful for couples whose first languages or families don't match.

We barely have time to argue, let alone do therapy. Will this fit our lives?

Many Hollywood couples meet biweekly rather than weekly, and many use secure video to skip the drive. The schedule should support the work, not the other way around.
