  • therapist2WELCOME

    Welcome to the websites of www.santafecouples.com and www.carolmachendrie.com.

    I am a prominent couples therapist in Santa Fe, New Mexico providing three-five day intensive therapeutic experiences as well as ongoing couples counseling. Three decades of experience in couples and individual therapy inform my unique approach Six Directions Couples Therapy.

    My focus is to help you create the relationship and life that reflects your authentic values and beliefs. In our teamwork I listen carefully to your intentions and goals to make the changes you desire. My strength based integrative approach is tailored to meet the unique expression of your relationship.

  • therapist1COUPLES INTENSIVES

    Sometimes we need to step out of the ordinary to experience the extraordinary possibilities that are before us. They become revealed when we drop our routine and rote ways of being together. We open our eyes to new landscapes, leave the business of our lives and descend into the depth of our being.

    Santa Fe has long been known for its healing energy. The light has drawn artists for centuries and seekers have flocked to experience the City Different. Held by the extraordinary landscape nestled at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, we utilize our natural environment to hold and care for you and your relationship.

  • therapist4 ENDORSEMENTS

    "My husband and I came to know Carol several months ago, as we were experiencing trauma in our marriage. Due to a devastating personal event that changed the path of our lives, we were separated and feeling hopeless and alone. In stepped Carol. As we grew to know her, she helped us regain the balance, strength and courage to go forward in our lives together. I don't know if we would have made it without her help. We are forever in her debt."

    JP

    "Ms. Carol was a highly energetic, enthusiastic and dedicated medical psychology professor. Her clinical experience and correlations were exactly what I needed to help me master my knowledge of psychology."

Whether you want to enhance your relationship, are "on the brink" or somewhere in between, I am here to reconnect you to your strengths and envision a new sustainable, loving relationship.

We all come to therapy with resources and resilience, which are too often forgotten in the midst of difficulties. It is key to your success to reconnect you to your individual and collective health and well being. I am a brain wise couples therapist who incorporates the latest advances in neuroscience with over thirty five years of experience.

You can contact me to schedule an appointment via email or phone for an initial phone interview. We then decide whether to schedule a couples intensive, or weekly couples or individual sessions. I look forward to working with you.

In addition to counseling, I provide supervision and consultation for licensing and professional development.
