Nurturing Connections: Understanding Couples Therapy Needs in Calabasas

Insights from Susan Cole Rome, LMFT


The Calabasas Relationship Landscape

Nestled in the hills of Los Angeles County, Calabasas is celebrated for its beauty, exclusivity, and luxury. Behind the gates and breathtaking scenery, however, couples often face unique relationship challenges shaped by the area’s pace, expectations, and pressures.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in couples therapy in Calabasas, I provide a confidential and compassionate space for partners to explore these challenges and strengthen their bond.


The Calabasas Lifestyle: A Double-Edged Sword

Living in Calabasas offers unparalleled advantages—access to high-end amenities, privacy, and community among accomplished individuals. Yet the same environment that supports success can also heighten emotional distance.

Common relationship stressors include:

  • Maintaining social image or status
  • Balancing demanding careers and family life
  • Managing shared wealth and financial responsibilities

Understanding and addressing these pressures are vital to creating a partnership built on genuine connection rather than appearance.

Customized Therapy for Unique Relationship Needs

Privacy and Discretion

In a close-knit, high-profile community, privacy is essential. My practice emphasizes discretion, ensuring that couples can speak openly and honestly in a trusted therapeutic environment.

Managing Expectations

Calabasas couples often feel external pressure to present a picture-perfect relationship. In therapy, I help partners set realistic expectations, fostering authenticity and compassion over performance.

Balancing Work and Family Life

Ambitious professionals and entrepreneurs frequently struggle to maintain equilibrium between career demands and intimacy. Together, we develop strategies that preserve emotional connection amid busy lifestyles.

Navigating Financial Stress

Money is one of the most common sources of conflict in relationships—especially when wealth brings added complexity. From budgeting discussions to differing spending values, I help couples approach financial topics with empathy and teamwork.

Cultivating Intimacy

Amid hectic schedules, genuine connection can fade. My sessions focus on helping couples rediscover physical and emotional closeness, restoring intimacy as a core foundation of their relationship.


The Path Forward

Embracing couples therapy is not a sign of weakness—it is a proactive step toward growth. Therapy provides the structure and insight to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen understanding.

Living in Calabasas means balancing visibility, ambition, and love. Having a therapist who understands those dynamics allows couples to work through challenges with honesty and grace.
