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 has partnered with guest artists who will engage couples in a bonding experience. Susie and her guest artists use the arts to encourage emotional healing by using the creative process to give voice when words are not enough. Guest artists include: dancers, mixologists, photographers, painters, chefs and more.
For over 20 years Susie has practiced the art of connecting with people in distress. In the last 4 years, she has sharpened this craft, by focusing on couples needing to regain connection and belonging in their relationships. 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!
