Getting to know Sonia Becerra
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. For the past 4 years, I have been part of 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.
My approach
I am naturally curious, authentic, and adaptable. I value authenticity and showing up as a human first rather than as an "expert." You can expect my style to be warm, non-judgmental, and accepting. I am here to provide a safe space that facilitates vulnerability and growth.
My focus
I have provided individual, family, and group sessions using evidence-based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Integrated Therapy for Bipolar Disorder and Substance Abuse, Motivational Interviewing, and the PIER Model.
My communication style
True to my personality, you can expect me to be direct, humorous, empathetic, and easygoing. At times, I cuss-because, let's face it, sometimes situations and life just suck! I am open to your feedback. If something is helpful, please let me know. If something isn't, don't hesitate to tell me!
My journey to therapy
I'd like to think I was purposeful when I set out to be a therapist, but I wasn't. I initially wanted to be a Special Education Teacher for children who are hearing impaired and entering the public school system. After volunteering for one summer session, I quickly learned it was rewarding but also incredibly disheartening. I then changed my major and started pursuing a career in nursing.
