Two Therapists, One Team: A Collaborative Approach to Couples Therapy.

A smarter, more supportive path for ADHD-affected couples—through teamwork between your individual and couples therapists.

Join Berkeley couples therapist Yizhao Martins, LMFT, and individual therapist Laura Bai, LMFT, as we explore how collaborative therapy transforms ADHD-affected relationships.
In this interview we explain how a coordinated team—one therapist for the couple and another for each individual—helps partners communicate better, move through treatment more efficiently, and achieve long-term change.

Collaborative Care for ADHD-Affected Relationships

As a couples therapist specializing in ADHD-affected relationships, I do not see individual clients myself. Instead, I intentionally refer out to trusted individual therapists whose work complements mine. And I go a step further:
🕰️ Behind the scenes, I dedicate off-hours to building collaborative relationships with these providers—because I care deeply about your progress.

Let’s explore why that collaboration can be so transformative.

MEET THE TEAM

    Coordinated care means less repetition, faster results.

    You learn your steps with one therapist, and how to move together with the other.

  • 🎨 Tailored Modalities

    Each partner gets support that fits their unique style.

  • 🗓️ Less Scheduling Stress

“Individual therapy teaches you how to move with balance and rhythm. Couples therapy teaches you how to dance together.”
