INTEGRATIVE COUPLES THERAPY &
ACCELERATED RESOLUTION THERAPY IN CALIFORNIA
Regina Bernius is a trauma-informed therapist in Orange County, California, specializing in integrative couples therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
I focus on personal and relational healing. My work centers on two areas:
Supporting motivated couples in creating stronger bonds and greater relationship satisfaction. With advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy, I bring three gold-standard couples approaches to every session.
Supporting individuals in finding accelerated resolution of painful experiences and achieving more balance. Relief from phobias, trauma, and unresolved emotional pain can be possible in just a few sessions. The innovative approach of Accelerated Resolution Therapy allows for deep, meaningful shifts, quickly.
