What Happened to Us?
Sometimes you can look at your partner and wonder, " How did we get here"? Many couples feel exactly the same way you do right now. It is not uncommon for couples to have hard years or issues that seem impossible. Whether its infidelity and trust issues, communication or sexual issues, we can help get to the root of the problem and begin the process of helping you heal and begin again. On the other hand, If it seems the issues are too much and reconciling is not desired or possible, I can also help you with uncoupling, consciously, with kindness, communication and respect.
Regain Connection
Thinking back on how the relationship got lost and how you both became so distant can be heartbreaking. Allow Dr. Becerra, who has extensive training and experience in working with couples and relationship issues, help you to regain the spark, intimacy and connection you desire.
Safe Environment
Couples therapy is different than individual therapy in that both parties have equal opportunities and space to be heard. However, some aspects may feel similar to individual therapy. For instance, if one partner has a history of trauma, or we spend time on one partner in a session targeting the root of their issue within the relationship, this can benefit both partners. The primary focus is on communication and strategies tailored to your specific issue. It is a neutral environment in which your psychologist does not take sides with one partner- but helps BOTH partners with empathy and vulnerability. It is a safe and confidential place for you to learn more about your partner and yourself.
Online Services
Some couples may have concerns on if in-person therapy may be better than virtual sessions, this decision is yours to make but many couples find online therapy no different than in-person sessions, many even prefer it over coming in person.
Remember that you will be in the comfort of your own home and many couples find ending the session at home begins the rest of their evening together with healing, respect and sense of relief. Also, if you are both in separate locations, online therapy can be done conveniently, without having to both coordinate travel schedules to the same office. Just simply log on! Dr. Becerra has been providing online therapy for several years and has been fortunate enough to have seen very successful and meaningful outcomes.
