Chris Bateman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Renewal Counseling Centers in San Diego. With over 20 years of clinical experience and a background in pastoral care, Chris brings a calm, grounded presence to the couples, families, and individuals he serves.
Chris specializes in couples therapy, marriage counseling, and faith-integrated care. He is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and uses Gottman-informed approaches to help couples understand the patterns driving their disconnection and build the kind of secure, lasting bond they’re looking for. He has a particular passion for helping couples navigate communication breakdown, emotional distance, affair recovery, and the anxious-avoidant cycle.
Beyond the therapy room Chris hosts the podcast “Where Do We Grow From Here” a resource for couples and individuals navigating relationships, personal growth, and faith.
Chris sees clients in person in La Jolla, San Diego and via telehealth throughout California.
Specialties: Couples Therapy · Marriage Counseling · EFT · Gottman-Informed Therapy · Faith-Integrated Care · Affair Recovery · Premarital Counseling
