I have extensive experience addressing trauma in women who have been victims of domestic violence. My approach is mostly Psychodynamic with Cognitive Restructuring to help these victims process their past trauma and gain insight into establishing healthy boundaries. This approach has helped many clients gain self-confidence and self-empowerment to continue in life not as a victim but as a survivor of trauma. Clients have been able to learn skills that help them better manage their symptoms and gain a sense of control and self in their lives moving forward.

Hello there! I'm Sonia Becerra, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 7 years of clinical experience. I have worked with children, teens, adults and families. I have spent the last 4 years working in a community mental health agency dedicated to adults who are dual diagnosed (i.e. mental health and substance abuse disorders). I have also worked in a California State Prison as a Substance Abuse Treatment Provider. I am a naturally curious, authentic, and adaptable person. I value authenticity and showing up as a human first rather than an "expert".

Fostering a climate of emotional safety and trust is paramount. When a person feels safe being vulnerable, they can begin the work of healing and change.

I work collaboratively with clients to assist them in moving towards healing and integration, acknowledging and validating the struggles along the way while also reorienting clients towards their strengths. I create the time and space in session for you to be your authentic self, acknowledging how all aspects of self, including ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disabilities, play a role in how you move through the world, humbly seeking to provide culturally competent services. I strongly believe each individual is filled with potential for growth and joy.

It is my belief that we generally want to feel safe, secure and connected to ourselves, our families, friends and our communities. Obstacles to doing so can include circumstances outside of our control and also the results of our own learned patterns and behaviors. Therapy is an integral part of healing past trauma, validating one's thoughts/feelings/emotions, identifying dysfunctional patterns of engagement and learning new skills to cope. Through work with a therapist, it is possible to shape a life and relationships that include confidence, calm and presence that is so often missed in the busyness of society today.
