My Approach to Therapy

I’m Casey Binstadt, a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT #50495). I offer ongoing coparenting support along with discernment counseling and blended-family therapy. My work is grounded in an attachment-based approach — helping high-conflict coparents move out of reactivity and into workable, child-centered agreements. I see clients in person in Marin County and online throughout California.

My Practice & Services

If you're reading this, chances are you've been carrying more than you let anyone see. Maybe it's an affair or a betrayal that's cracked something open. Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fight in different clothes, and you're exhausted by it. Maybe you're facing a divorce, a separation, or a decision you never expected to make. Or maybe it's a life transition — infertility, a loss, a big move, a new chapter — that's knocked you off balance in ways you didn't see coming. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a place to start. I'm Casey, and I work with individuals and couples navigating exactly these kinds of moments. My approach is honest, warm, and free of judgment. I'm not interested in performing therapy at you; I want to actually understand what's happening for you and help you find your way through it, at a pace that makes sense for your life. In our work together, we'll slow down long enough to understand the patterns that keep showing up — in your relationships and in yourself — so you can respond differently instead of getting stuck in the same old cycles. Some sessions will feel like relief. Others will feel hard. Both are part of the process. If any of this sounds familiar, I'd love to talk with you.

Important Factors for Choosing a Therapist

Fit matters more than almost anything else. A therapist can have every credential in the world, but if you don't feel safe being honest with them, the work won't go anywhere. Pay attention to how you feel in a consultation call or first session — do you feel judged, rushed, or like you're performing for them? Or do you feel like you can actually say the real thing? It's also worth asking about a therapist's experience with what you're bringing in. Someone who specializes in the kind of relationship or life transition you're facing will usually get you to the heart of things faster than someone working outside their focus. Logistics matter too, even though they can feel less important in the moment: session frequency, cost, location or telehealth options, and scheduling flexibility all affect whether therapy is sustainable for you long-term, not just helpful for a few sessions. And finally, trust your gut. If something feels off after giving it a fair try, it's okay to look elsewhere. The right therapist should feel like someone you can be honest with, who also isn't afraid to be honest with you.
