Couples Therapy for Multicultural Relationships
Helping intercultural couples build connection, trust, and shared meaning across differences
Relationships can be beautiful, messy, and deeply complex—especially when they bring together different cultures, languages, values, or life experiences. As a couples therapist who specializes in working with multicultural, multilingual, and cross-cultural couples, I provide a supportive space to help you and your partner reconnect, grow, and navigate your unique dynamics with compassion and clarity.
Whether you’re dealing with communication struggles, life transitions, cultural misunderstandings, parenting differences, or just feeling distant, therapy can help you feel more understood and more connected.
My approach is rooted in systemic and emotionally focused therapy, and I’m especially attuned to how culture, identity, family expectations, and power dynamics shape your relationships.
In our work together, we can explore:
- Communication patterns and emotional safety
- Navigating cultural or religious differences
- Boundaries with extended family and cultural traditions
- Shifts in intimacy, trust, or connection
- Identity, language, and belonging within the relationship
I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I welcome couples of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and relationship structures.
Whether you’re feeling stuck, wanting to reconnect, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of one another, I’d be honored to support your journey.
Let’s create space for both of your voices—and cultures—to be heard.

Welcome!
My name is Anna Schäfer Edwards. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Florida (License # MT 4128) and Arizona (License # LMFT-16272) and I provide forensic evaluations for Family and Immigration Law as well as therapy services to adults and couples. I am a qualified supervisor in Florida. I hold a Masters Degree in Family Therapy and an MBA from Nova Southeastern University. I have spent more than 20 years in the business sector. I enjoy working with professionals and executives when providing individual or couples therapy.
As an evaluator, my written reports strive to convey findings in a manner that is clear, concise, accurate, and objective. My reports are unbiased, and critical to clients’ cases. I am mindful of the weight that may be placed on my report, so I set a high standard for the quality and organization of the narrative.
Child custody evaluations lie at the intersection of forensic psychology, requiring expertise in assessing children, adults, and families. I recognize the importance of utilizing evidence-based frameworks when appropriate. Immigration evaluations are written based on my extensive work with individuals suffering from trauma, abuse, and family separation dynamics. My interviews can be in Spanish or Portuguese for the client’s convenience.
Evaluations profoundly influence lives and are subject to public scrutiny and trust. I strive to function as a fair and impartial evaluator. I hope to earn your confidence in addressing your needs or the needs of your client.
I see clients online as well as in my office in Cooper City at the Counseling and Wellness Center of South Florida (CWCSF.com). Check out my directory profile and pictures of my office here
