About

For Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused couples therapy in Carlsbad Village, Jennifer Semmes, LCSW holds California license #23587 and practices from Jefferson Street in the 92008 zip code. A PsyD and LCSW dual credential built on postgraduate training at Colorado State University anchors a 20-year clinical career treating individuals, couples, and families from toddler age through elder populations — a lifespan scope that coordinates with the in-home elder-support services at Heritage Senior Care in Carlsbad for geriatric clients requiring concurrent care. Infidelity-recovery work applies structured disclosure protocols and attachment-repair sequences drawn from both Gottman and EFT frameworks to guide couples through betrayal trauma without retraumatization. The practice's family-therapy caseload spans adoption adjustment, behavioral issues in children and adolescents, autism-spectrum family dynamics, and divorce mediation support, with physical-wellness referrals to Premier Fitness Camp in Carlsbad for clients integrating exercise into their emotional-regulation plans. Gottman couples sessions use the Sound Relationship House framework's seven-level architecture — from building love maps through creating shared meaning — to systematically reconstruct the relational infrastructure that sustains long-term partnership stability.
