About Us

The Child Therapy Institute, also known as The Child Therapy Institute of Marin, was founded in 1992 by Tessamarie Capitolo, MFT,ISST and David Capitolo, MFT. Our services and mission still greatly reflect their vision for affordable ongoing psychotherapy for children and families from many different backgrounds. We seek to increase awareness that our community’s children are a precious resource to be nurtured, protected, and guided into adulthood.

In a safe and supportive setting, adult and child clients can strengthen their ability to solve life problems and resolve interpersonal conflicts. Clients often leave therapy with greater inner resources, new life skills, and a renewed sense of closeness and authenticity in their relationships.
