Founder & Clinical Director of The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling
Montebello & Newport Beach, California
At The Couples Therapy & Reunification Counseling, our mission is simple, to heal families, restore trust, and strengthen relationships through compassion, trauma-informed care, and clinically grounded expertise.
Founded by Maria Jessica Quiroz, LMFT, our practice has grown into a collaborative team of dedicated therapists who share one common goal: helping families and couples rebuild healthier, more connected lives. With over a decade of experience serving Los Angeles and Orange County, Maria has guided families through complex challenges such as parental alienation, high-conflict co-parenting, reunification therapy, couples counseling, and child-centered care.
Our team specializes in supporting clients through every stage of healing, from navigating court-ordered reunification and co-parenting dynamics to rediscovering intimacy, communication, and emotional safety in relationships. Every therapist within our group is trained to provide evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to the unique needs of each family we serve.
We believe healing takes courage, but you don’t have to do it alone.
Together, we’ll help you rebuild stronger relationships, break generational cycles, and restore harmony at home.
✨ Healing hearts. Restoring families. Rebuilding hope.
A Child-Centered Approach to Reunification Therapy
High-conflict family situations and court-involved cases require more than traditional therapy approaches.
The Quiroz Bridge Model™ is a structured, phased reunification framework developed by our practice to support safe, developmentally appropriate reconnection between children and parents.
This approach recognizes that children need emotional preparation and regulation before contact, especially after prolonged conflict, separation, or loyalty binds.
The Quiroz Bridge Model™:
Prioritizes emotional safety before reunification
Uses clear, phased progression rather than forced timelines
Centers the child’s emotional readiness
Supports court-ordered reunification therapy and reintegration
Focuses on long-term family stability, not short-term compliance
Our clinicians work collaboratively with attorneys, minor’s counsel, and the court system while remaining therapeutic, neutral, and child-centered.
