From brokenness to belonging. We guide families to heal, rebuild, and thrive together.


I’m Kellye Laughery, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Registered Play Therapist, and founder of The Center for Family Unity in San Diego. I specialize in blended family therapy and support for women over 45 navigating remarriage, transitions, and the challenges of complex family systems. My own path from surf shop owner and Fortune 250 executive to facing deep personal loss shaped my passion for emotional healing and helping others rebuild from brokenness.
At The Center for Family Unity, I guide families through healing with a unique blend of evidence-based therapy and creative approaches like play therapy, pet therapy, and whole-family counseling. With advanced training in trauma, child-centered therapy, and emotionally focused practices. I equip families to restore trust, strengthen relationships, and create lasting unity.
