Hello, I am Rune Moelbak, Ph.D., a psychologist and certified EFT therapist with more than 15 years of experience.


I was born and raised in Denmark "the happiest country on Earth" before moving to the United States in my mid-twenties to pursue a career in psychology. I believe we are all on a similar psychological journey to free ourselves from negative experiences from the past so we can feel lighter, more joyful, and more at peace with who we are. Becoming a psychologist was part of my own psychological and existential journey and is therefore not just a job but a life-pursuit and passion. I present myself as a fellow "traveller" eager to join YOU on YOUR journey of life and excited to help you free yourself from whatever is holding you back.


As an active participant in the field of psychology I have published several professional articles in national and international psychology journals. In addition to being a licensed psychologist in Houston TX, I am also a certified EFT couples therapist. I consider myself a specialist in both individual and couples therapy, and an expert in both psychodynamic and emotion-focused approaches to therapy.


By choosing me as your therapist you can be assured of the following:

Therapists vary widely in their level of education and expertise. By hiring a therapist with a Ph.D. you make sure you are getting a therapist who has the highest level of training on the market. As a doctor in clinical psychology with more than 15 years of experience, and as a certified couples therapist, I have the knowledge and experience to meet your needs

Many therapists provide short-term surface-level solutions to your problems. They treat the symptoms and not the causes. Why not get it right the first time? I have many years of experience helping people get to the emotional root of their problems. Rather than providing you with band-aid solutions, I help you achieve change that lasts

Unlike many therapists who take a medical approach to psychological problems, and may provide you with a diagnosis of a mental disorder, I view suffering from an existential and growth-oriented perspective. This means that I focus on understanding you as a person, in the context of normal life struggles, and relate to you as one person to another

I work with people of all cultures, races, and sexual orientations, and strive to create a welcoming affirming place no matter who you are. As a native European psychologist who has lived and studied in many different countries, I bring an international and open-minded outlook to my work and to the people I work with

I provide therapy outside of normal business hours so you can enjoy your therapy experience without having to take time off work

“I’m moving through a hard chapter. I’m feeling anxious or stressed, not happy, burned out or disconnected from my true self. My coping skills are not cutting it.” // “I feel ‘OK’ but like there’s more to life and I’m not sure how to get there.”

“I believe in doing the work. I need help establishing new patterns in my relationship, dating life, or parenting life.” // “I am getting married or starting a family and I want us to start strong.” // “I’d like help transitioning from spouse into a conscientious co-parent.”

“I’m feeling stressed in my work environment or role.” // “I need to explore how to establish a better balance.” // “I want to better understand how I may be getting in my own way at work.”

4worldlovers: Deciding to start therapy is a big step in investing in yourself and your family. If you’re a parent you have likely used all the tools you have to help your struggling child. Or perhaps, you’ve tried everything to find relief from the distress you’re experiencing, but you need some extra help. Maybe, your relationship is struggling and you want to rebuild the loving connection you once had with your partner.

4worldlovers: Strong, secure relationships are necessary for all of us to thrive.


Nothing brought you greater joy than the love you found with your partner. You could not wait to be together; the closeness you felt was special, energizing and reassuring.

However, today those intense and wondrous feelings may have been unfortunately replaced with:

Repeated arguments, often begun over a small, insignificant issue but then escalating to bigger, sometimes hurtful disagreements

Feelings of tension, of "walking on eggshells." A greater distance has come between you.

Fear of talking about your concerns because you just don't know where to start . . . or where the conversation will lead

You both feel stuck. You've tried to discuss your differences, yet old issues never get resolved, and the pain you're feeling can lead to hopelessness.

Couples just like you (indeed, you're not alone!) who are considering relationship counseling are wondering:

Can couples counseling make a difference? Can our relationship be saved?

Is there a solution to our repeated cycles of arguing? And is there hope for closing the growing distance between us?

Answers to these questions can depend on where your feelings are in your marriage or relationship.

My goal as a psychologist who specializes in working with couples and individuals on relationship issues is to assist you at any stage of your journey.

4worldlovers: We do not accept insurance but our counseling is affordable. Most clients find that they can complete counseling with us for less than their deductible amount, and thus would not be reimbursed even if we accepted insurance. Couples also have the option of attending every other week to help make it more affordable.

Couple distress is the single most common precursor for seeking counseling. It doesn’t have to be a catastrophe or a major event in a relationship to prompt seeking help. Like your health, relationships take constant attention and expert counsel when you notice something is off.

Some individuals, often men, are afraid they will be blamed if they come to counseling. We DO NOT blame either partner. We realize there are two sides to every story. If either of you are unsure, consider committing to only one session initially to get to know your counselor, see if it feels like a good fit, and explore how your counselor can help you reach your goals.

The Couple Zone specializes in couples counseling. Why go to a “generalist” counselor who “also sees” couples for something as important as your marriage or relationship?

All of our counselors receive advanced couples therapy training and are incredibly passionate about helping couples work through issues and restore trust.

The Couple Zone podcast will be launching soon! Stay tuned. It will feature helpful relationship advice and interviews with couples who have overcome difficulties.

Dr Bradley, President of The Couple Zone, has c0-written a helpful book for couples based on decades of research and experience. The techniques of the book are widely used at The Couple Zone. Dr. Bradley’s and Dr. Furrow’s book has been featured in the Huffington Post as one of “15 Books All Couples Should Read.” It’s available online at Amazon, Apple Books, and Audible in paperback, ebook, and audio book form.

“This book literally details what we do when we argue! It’s kind of scary even.”

“We read this together and laugh, because it’s like the authors went back in time and interviewed us before they wrote the book. Very applicable.”
