Better Together. More Yourself.
Telehealth therapy for individuals and couples ready to do real work - using the Gottman Method and EFT to build stronger relationships and a deeper sense of self.
I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work. Having navigated significant life transitions myself, including divorce and co-parenting, I approach each client with genuine empathy and a grounded, realistic perspective. Reaching out takes courage, and I don't take that lightly.
I know that starting therapy can feel intimidating. That's why I offer every potential client a complimentary 30-minute consultation before we begin - an opportunity to get to know one another, ask anything on your mind, and determine together whether we're the right fit. There are no wrong questions and no pressure. To schedule a :30 minute no charge consultation please follow this link: https://tinyurl.com/No-Charge-Consultation
My style is warm and direct. Sessions are collaborative and active - we'll be working together toward something concrete. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a couple arrive on the other side of hard work with clarity and renewed intention, or witnessing an individual move from sadness and confusion to finding their footing and a version of themselves they feel good about.
I work exclusively via telehealth - and I believe that's a genuine advantage. There's real value in therapy that happens on your own terms. No traffic, no babysitter needed - show up as you are. It's not unusual for a little one to wander in, and those moments often give me a richer understanding of a client's world than any office could.
Outside the office I'm a mother, grandmother, and devoted companion to golden retrievers Whitney and Ginger. I'm closely connected to my 87-year-old parents, connected to communities in Marin County, North Lake Tahoe, and Bend, Oregon, and endlessly curious about the world. Licensed in California, Oregon, and Nevada.
If you're ready to take that first step, I'd love to hear from you.
Client Success Stories
"Kirsten was lovely. She was understanding of our unorthodox lifestyle and quickly assessed what our issues were. We learned some new skills to de-escalate our arguments and communicate better. We have benefited from our sessions with her, and arguments have not reached the previous level of intensity ever since. Definitely recommend!"

"Therapy worked because of you."
***** "Thanks to you - life is better."Â

"We've been working with Kirsten Siewert, AMFT, who is one of the therapists at Couples Learn, and we are thrilled with the results! After a very thorough series of 1-on-1 sessions, we worked with Kirsten as she went over each facet of our relationship and helped us learn the toolsets and methods to both develop upon our relationship shortcomings (which all relationships have) and further strengthen the areas where we have already been thriving. Her familiar, inquisitive, understanding, and balanced approach has helped us find a way through periods of misunderstanding and miscommunication. The work we've done so far and continue to do with Kirsten has been one of the most important, and successful, factors in our relationship together and our individual growth. Having done with work early–which is something we're all reticent to do until it's too late–I can recommend the process for any couple no matter how long two people have been together."
