Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates provides relationship support for couples from  throughout the South Bay, including Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and nearby communities.

We provide couples therapy services for:

  • Couples seeking stronger communication

  • Partners navigating conflict or life transitions

  • Relationships healing from stress or past hurt

Find the Best Couples Support

Couples therapy gives partners a safe place to slow down, listen, and understand each other more deeply. Together, you’ll explore patterns that may be creating distance or conflict and learn new ways to communicate and connect.

Some couples come to therapy to rebuild trust, others to manage stress and life changes, and some simply want to strengthen their bond. No matter the reason, couples therapy helps you work as a team, giving you tools to navigate challenges with more care and clarity. Our goal is to support both partners in creating a relationship that feels balanced, connected, and resilient.

EVERY RELATIONSHIP HAS CHALLENGES

Therapy offers space to listen, heal, and grow together.
