Heather Rousselo
My name is Heather Rousselo and I am the President& CEO of Safe Space Marriage & Family Counseling Corp. I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist practicing in the Santa Clarita, California since 2011. I married my rock star husband Mike in 1994 at the wise old age of 22. Since that time Mike and I have grown up together, fought with each other, fought against each other, fought for each other, and somehow have stayed connected together. My husband tirelessly supports my every passion and puts up with my crazy. No easy job! We have a real relationship that is nowhere near perfect. But it’s perfectly imperfect and I can’t imagine either of us having it any other way. We have four lovely children together (two completely fledged and two still at home) which adds its own special kind of chaos. We have lived in Santa Clarita since 1995. When I am not in the office you'll catch me (if y0u can) rushing back and forth from the local hockey rink and engaging in all things Hockey mom!
I have been passionate about Gottman Method Couples therapy from the moment I finished the Gottman Clinicians trainings in 2013. I immediately reinvented my couples process and began working with couples using the model, research and interventions I learned from the Gottman's. In 2022, I decided to focus my practice exclusively on helping couples manage the everyday peaks and valleys of their relationships. I envisioned a Safe Space where people of all walks of life, orientation, identities, origins, or cultures would feel accepted, valued, respected, and supported. All while being offered expert care for life’s most precious asset-our loving relationships.
If you click each staff person's picture you will see a special childhood photo. In my photo, I am about 5 years old at my truest happy place....Disneyland! My father took this shot and it's truly a treasure. Flowers are a BIG deal at Safe Space. My favorite flower is..... you guessed it......the Sunflower!
Mike Rousselo
Mike is the Rockstar husband behind the Safe Space scene. Mike is an Industrial Mechanic and enjoys fishing, frisbee golf, ping pong and anything outdoors. Mike is an LA Kings fan (Go Kings!). When asked what it’s like to be married to Heather he said “For me Heather was the one that got away. We dated for a short time in Junior high. I always regretted that we broke up. During high school I always wondered what happened to her. So when we met again by chance I did not hesitate to ask her to marry me. Heather always opens my eyes to see life in a new way.” Mike’s favorite flower is the Orchid.

The child pic is my preschool photo at North Oaks park in Santa Clarita. I spent many summers there attending summer camp with my two older sisters. I have always been an outdoors kinda gal. The beach is my oasis. I love hiking, swimming, obstacle spartan runs and just enjoying mother nature. I recently completed a half marathon hiking adventure with my 4 kids! My favorite flowers are Daisies.

Drs. John & Julie Gottman
Just as Masters and Johnson were pioneers in the study of human sexuality, so Dr. John Gottman has revolutionized the study of marriage. For four decades he has conducted research on all facets of relationships, including parenting issues. The Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work book summarizes this research and guides couples on the path toward a harmonious and long lasting relationship. At the Gottman Institute, in collaboration with Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman, he developed a counseling approach that not only supports and repairs troubled marriages and committed relationships but strengthens happy ones.
More about the Gottman Institute :

John and Julie Gottman who, through a global network, teach practical skills for couples and parents that help build intimacy and trust. The institute provides worldwide clinical trainings for therapists and offers certification in Gottman Couples Counseling.
