Certified Gottman Therapist!

I am a trauma-certified, licensed couples therapist with over 10 years of experience supporting couples in rebuilding and strengthening their relationships.

Our romantic partner is often our anchor. The person we trust and turn to in the most difficult moments. When that relationship experiences a rupture – such as infidelity, decreased intimacy, change in shared life vision, illness, and others – most people experience that rupture as a trauma. It shakes the core of what we’ve known to be true.

That’s why I use a trauma-informed approach when I work with couples. I draw from evidence-based methods for couple’s therapy, including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also integrate relevant trauma-based interventions, including EMDR, into my couple’s work. Bliss In Being uses a range of couple therapy in San Francisco, including: Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Couple Focused EMDR, and more.

Intensives

I offer couples therapy intensives who want full immersion in the work. Sometimes this is due to an urgent situation requiring immediate, in-depth support. Other times couples’ learning styles are more conducive to a longer and more immersive experience. Couples spend 10 hours with the therapist over the course of two days.

Our Services

Weekly Therapy

I work with couples in marriages or any type of relationship, dyad or polyamorous, that is significant for you. Couples present with a wide variety of issues, including pre-marital counseling, conflict management, communication concerns, recovery after infidelity, co-parenting, sexual issues, and more.

“Dr. Cammy is so thorough, warm, and ride or die for her clients. I've known Dr. Cammy for years and have experienced her coaching and facilitation first-hand. Her wisdom and guidance have literally helped me transform my life. For years I struggled with being in work environments where I was underpaid and under-appreciated. With Dr. Cammy's coaching, I now own my own business and have more than doubled my income in only a couple of years. She is also very sensitive to my religious and social context as a Muslim woman and I found her so welcoming, accepting, and attentive. I'm so honored to co-facilitator with her in her breakout 90 Days to Calm Course. I can not endorse her enough. You will not regret any of the work you do with Dr. Cammy.”

“18 months after my daughter was involved in a traumatic experience, she started having PNES. The doctors kept her in the hospital for a week, trying multiple medications. Her seizures got worse and yet she was released from the hospital. I was at my wits end. I googled "treatment for PNES", send an email, and within a couple days Cammy called! She was our life saver. She had an answer and a treatment. Today, two years later, my daughter is Co-President of her Veterinary Medicine class at Oregon State University. She is happy, successful and has the skills and resources to stay that way thanks to Dr. Cammy. She was a real life, pragmatic angel when we desperately needed one. I will forever be grateful for her changing the potential course of my daughter's life.”

“Dr. Cammy is a phenomenally effective coach. After participating in her 90 Days to Calm course and some individual coaching sessions, I’ve experienced major positive shifts in my physical, mental and emotional health. Dr. Cammy is an active listener who affirms clients’ strengths and, with impressive  insight, identifies opportunities for change, with clear action steps. Her kind, non-judgmental, assertive demeanor instills confidence and the motivation to follow through. If you’re overwhelmed with stress and anxiety, I highly recommend working with Dr. Cammy to embark on a path toward greater balance, calmness and well being.”

“Dr. Cammy is actually life saving. If you are thinking of investing in one way to take care of yourself (and thus your whole family/ all you loved ones) this is it! The support of Dr. Cammy and the amazing community formed by being a part of the Bliss in Being community is transforming. She uses hard science and genuine love to form a program that can change the way you live and guide you toward a more fulfilled and whole life/self. Thank you Dr. Cammy for what you have done for me (and the world).”

“Cammy is amazing. She is kind and compassionate and genuinely cares about you. I worked with her for nearly a year and in that time she listened, offered advice when needed and helped me dig into my future goals. Since then I've become more confident at work and in my hobbies and feel like my outlook has completely changed. I learned to never settle, but to ALSO take it easy on myself, not a an easy feat! Thanks Cammy!”

“I went through a very difficult period of work burnout and was very overwhelmed. I did not even had the time for an in person therapy session... that's how I came across Dr Cammy. Way before Covid-19 we started therapy online and I was able to get the help I needed. It is a process in person or online to build trust and to let go pride, I find. Not painful or difficult, just a process. I was able to see my self through each session and was very amazed by the exercises and techniques Dr Cammy has to help oneself to find loose ends and to move on. The professionalism and commitment of Dr Cammy are highlights of her practice. I find the online setting as effective as in person sessions. The flexibility of Dr Cammy to meet me has been incredible. I feel very fortunate to have met such an experienced therapist to help me.”

“To put it simply, Cammy Froude has changed my life. She is simply the best coach I have worked with. She is so good at understanding those in the program and helping them work through difficulties. Each module is helpful in learning how to regulate my mood, practice self-love/care, and be a part of community… I met Cammy at one of the retreats in Northern CA and within 20 min she recognized my struggle with my current job. She encouraged me to consider life coaching and I've now been a Business Coach for 2-years and couldn't feel more fulfilled. She uses humor and is "ride or die" for us...”

“Talking with Dr. Cammy has brought a new perspective on my outlook on life and how I see my relationships. She is really easy to talk to and I felt like she understood me after only a few minutes. We made a concrete plan for how I will change parts of my life to tackle my anxiety. The best part was that Dr. Cammy holds you accountable and actually connects with you like a friend.”
