Center for Relationship & Intimacy Well-Being
Calabasas CA
At the Center for Relationship & Intimacy Well-Being (CRIWB), we create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their inner world, relationships, and sexuality. Every client’s journey is unique, and our approach is tailored to meet individuals and couples exactly where they are, addressing their goals, challenges, and personal strengths.
Clients begin by identifying their needs and intentions for therapy or coaching. From there, sessions integrate evidence-based therapeutic techniques, somatic awareness, relational exploration, mindfulness, and expressive arts practices. This holistic approach supports healing, growth, and transformation on multiple levels—mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual.
For couples, the clinic focuses on fostering connection, communication, and intimacy, helping partners navigate relational challenges while honoring each individual’s needs. For individuals, we guide clients in reclaiming self-awareness, pleasure, confidence, and authentic expression.
CRIWB also supports therapists and healers through supervision and mentorship, offering professional guidance on clinical skill, ethical practice, and practice development, helping them build thriving, heart-centered careers in sex therapy.
At CRIWB, therapy is not just about reducing symptoms—it is a collaborative process of self-discovery, empowerment, and reconnection to joy, intimacy, and meaningful connection. We walk alongside our clients to help them cultivate resilience, embodied presence, and fulfilling relationships in all areas of life.
The Center for Relationship & Intimacy Well-Being (CRIWB) is a holistic, integrative practice dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and professionals in cultivating connection, intimacy, and authentic self-expression. Founded by Jacqueline Mendez, CRIWB combines trauma-informed, sex-positive, and culturally responsive approaches to create safe, transformative spaces for growth and healing.
At CRIWB, we believe that meaningful change happens when the mind, body, heart, and spirit are all engaged. Our programs address relational challenges, sexual health, personal empowerment, and life transitions, helping clients reclaim pleasure, confidence, and joy. We offer individual and couples therapy, coaching, group programs, and professional mentorship designed to meet each client’s unique needs and goals.
Our approach is deeply informed by a commitment to addressing intergenerational trauma, cultural taboos, gender roles, and the intersections of identity, intimacy, and power. We work somatically, relationally, and expressively, supporting clients in reconnecting to their bodies, desires, and authentic selves.
In addition to client work, CRIWB provides supervision, mentorship, and consultation for therapists and healers on their journey toward sex therapy certification, helping professionals build ethical, heart-centered, and thriving practices.
