Meet Marni Reinhardt – Your Trusted Relationship Counselor

“What you focus on, you amplify.”

Hi! I’m Marni Reinhardt, a dedicated Relationship Counselor at SoCal Counseling Center. Since 2011, I’ve helped individuals and couples navigate challenges, strengthen their relationships, and build deeper connections.

My Story and Background as a Relationship Counselor

I’m a senior clinician, licensed marriage and family therapist, and clinical supervisor with advanced training in relationship therapy, sex therapy, and over 100 hours of Ericksonian hypnotherapy. My passion for helping others began early—back in middle school, I was part of a Conflict Managers program where peers sought help resolving disputes. It’s no surprise that relationship counseling became my specialty!

For over a decade, I have been dedicated to relationship counseling—helping clients heal from past pain, improve communication, and enjoy more fulfilling connections.

My Unique Approach as a Relationship Counselor

My goal is to equip couples and individuals with lasting skills that address current challenges and empower them to handle future concerns confidently. I tailor my approach to each client’s needs, ensuring you receive compassionate and effective relationship counseling. People describe my style as empathetic yet practical, gentle yet direct, often with a touch of playfulness to ease the process.

Techniques I Use in Relationship Counseling

As your Relationship Counselor, I often incorporate the following methods:

• Relational Therapy:

  I help you recognize and shift unhelpful patterns in every relationship, creating stronger, more fulfilling connections. (Learn more)

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Relationships:

By identifying and challenging negative thought patterns, I help improve communication and intimacy. (Learn more)

• Solution-Focused Therapy:

• Sex Therapy:

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore and improve intimate connection, addressing concerns in a compassionate manner.

• Hypnosis for Change & Healing:

Using Ericksonian Hypnotherapy, I help you tap into your inner wisdom to reframe limiting beliefs, reduce stress, and enhance self-confidence.

More About Me

Outside of my role as a Relationship Counselor, I enjoy walking my dog (even while attempting to train him!), reading, and laughing at the irony of having a dog with permanent separation anxiety. These moments keep me inspired and refueled in both my personal life and professional practice.
