Dr Ida Greene PhD

Family Therapist

“Dr. Ida Greene, Ph.D., Intuitive Relationship Coach, Speaker, Licensed Marriage, Family, Child Therapist, Healer, Reiki Practitioner.”

About Me

As a Licensed Marriage, Family, and Child Therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families navigate complex relationship dynamics. My approach blends established therapeutic methods with intuitive insights and gentle Reiki practices. I guide clients to understand their patterns and find inner balance. This offers a supportive space for those seeking practical tools and deeper healing within their relationships.

Approach

Intuition and practical strategy shape how we move through the work: sessions feel paced, intentional, and gently attuned to nervous systems. In my San Diego office and via secure online appointments in English, we combine focused assessment with compassionate coaching so you can name patterns, practice different responses, and track progress between meetings. I use short experiments, paced reflection, and advocacy when needed to keep change manageable and measurable. People coping with loss, transitions, or past abuse often find this steadied, skills-based yet soulful approach most helpful.
