Private Practice Maestro & Relationship Institute Luminary Empowering Connections to Flourish

La Jolla, California - Dr. Steven D. Solomon, a distinguished clinical psychologist with over 35 years of experience, is dedicated to helping couples, individuals, and families achieve their goals by addressing the root causes of pain and frustration in their lives. Through his directive therapy approach, he provides active feedback to guide clients towards effective solutions and long-term success.

At the core of Dr. Solomon’s therapeutic philosophy is the establishment of open, honest communication within a caring and respectful relationship. By creating a safe space for clients to explore their vulnerabilities and strengths, he empowers them to navigate challenges and embrace personal growth.

Specializing in couples therapy, Dr. Solomon equips partners with the tools needed to cultivate a Long-Term Love Relationship (LTLR) that is resilient and fulfilling. His innovative approach focuses on teaching couples how to identify and address issues within their relationship using the Three Intimacies framework, fostering deeper connections and intimacy. As a result, when a couple’s therapy work with Dr. Solomon ends, both partners have the insight and the tools of intimacy so that when a problem begins to arise in their LTLR, they are able to recognize it and deal with it successfully on their own.

A distinguished academic, Dr. Solomon earned his Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology/Philosophy from Dartmouth College, followed by his Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles. 

In the heart of La Jolla, California, Dr. Solomon runs his private practice, serving as a sanctuary for those seeking solace. He is also the visionary behind The Relationship Institute. Here, he does not just offer counsel; he engineers journeys of profound transformation. 

Beyond his professional achievements, Dr. Solomon finds fulfillment in his personal life, having been happily married to his wife, Esther, since 1985. They are the joyful parents of their young adult son, Lewis. 

For individuals, couples, and families seeking transformative therapy that leads to lasting change and growth, Dr. Steven D. Solomon offers a compassionate and effective approach that paves the way for a brighter, more fulfilling future. Driven by a fervent desire to mend, rebuild, and elevate relationships, he is a beacon of hope in the realm of emotional well-being, navigating the nexus of healing and growth.
