Introduction

We innately desire connection. It has been that way since we were children. When our needs aren't met, we may pull away or panic. Are you feeling anxious, worried, or overwhelmed in your partnership? If you are struggling to connect with your partner or processing a break up, we may be a good fit. We will explore the roadblocks that are getting in the way of you having healthy relationships and focus on giving yourself the love you look for in others. My specialties include trauma, depression, life transitions, and domestic violence. My name is Desiree Botelho and I am the Owner of Bay Area Transformative Healing, a Family Therapy Corporation. I've been supporting individuals and couples on their healing journeys for five years. I have completed Level 2 of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy professional training. I am a second generation Latina therapist from the Bay Area. My goal is to create a therapeutic relationship, in which clients feel seen, heard, and valued. My hope is that you leave therapy with the skills to speak your truth and confidently advocate for yourself. Contact me to schedule a free consultation. I also facilitate psychoeducational presentations to the community. Presentation type and topics are tailored to the setting and need. A free consultation meeting can be conducted before the presentation for introductions and learning more about the needs of the audience. Please email me directly at info@bayareatransformativehealing.com to schedule a presentation!
