David Mars Ph.D.
Developer of Transformative Couples Therapy® (TCT)
As a young therapist, Dr. Mars went into couple therapy looking for help.
Instead, he found that the models offered seemed to make matters worse - more drawn out and contentious - rather than better.
This set into motion four decades of dedicating himself to develop a couple’s model that works in a kind, effective and time-efficient way.
The TCT approach focuses on developing the capacity to experience the felt experience of love more fully, so that love becomes a guiding light for purposeful action in daily living and relating.
Today, Dr. Mars is the director of the Center for Transformative Therapy based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
He practices couple therapy and provides training and supervision of therapists in TCT worldwide. He holds a Ph.D. in Psychology and is an adjunct Faculty at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
