Women's lives are so complex - balancing career, relationships, and trying to get healthy or stay healthy - do you need help figuring out how to make it all work? 

Sometimes you just need time alone with your thoughts - and sometimes you need someone else to listen and help you through all of your complicated and confusing feelings.  Dr. Gretchen provides individual counseling that can assist you in deciding what you want in the moment, as well as long-term, and offer ways to manage your stress so you feel more relaxed, peaceful, and in charge of your health and your life.

Couples are deeply impacted by infertility, a newly diagnosed chronic illness, and by losses of loved ones.  These are tremendous stressors that have huge lifestyle, longevity, and financial implications.  If you're feeling the strain on your relationship, couples counseling will help you develop better communication skills, resolve problems before they become unmanageable, and reach a place of deeper connection with one another.

An ongoing weekly group for women takes place on Saturday mornings, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., in West Los Angeles. The group is limited to a maximum of eight participants.  Please call me at (310) 625-6083 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              (310) 625-6083      end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting              (310) 625-6083      end_of_the_skype_highlighting or e-mail gretchen@drkubacky.com to let me know if you if you are interested in joining a small, confidential process-oriented group.  A minimum commitment of three months is requested.
