Becerra Family Therapy

Everyone has a story to tell, and a unique set of circumstances, challenges, and experiences that make us who we are. I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves a safe space in which they can be heard and receive support in navigating any issue that is presenting and prevents them from being the person they want to be.

Everyone has a story to tell, and a unique set of circumstances, challenges, and experiences that make us who we are. I became a therapist because I believe that everyone deserves a safe space in which they can be heard and receive support in navigating any issue that is presenting and prevents them from being the person they want to be.

I am Italian born and raised, and started my career there in 2015 working with children, teens, and their families and teachers. I graduated from the University of Southern California in 2019 with a Master degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am an Associate Marriage and Family therapist. I am trained in different modalities, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Managing and Adapting Practices (MAP), and Art Therapy.  I am a member of CAMFT (California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists). As an immigrant, I know how crucial it can be to express our thoughts and feelings in our native language. This is why I offer therapy services not only in English, but also in Italian and Spanish.

My passion lies in working with teenagers, young adults and families. In my experience, a “one size fits all” approach does not apply when it comes to therapy. This is why I prioritize a person-centered approach. I incorporate trauma-informed approaches and various therapeutic interventions based on what each person needs, including Existential Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, therapeutic play, and expressive arts.

Finding a therapist that is a good fit is possible. I am here to support you in your healing process, and I am thrilled to work collaboratively with you on this journey.
