Successful relationships start with knowing and accepting ourselves. Then we can be clear about our needs and wants and learn to communicate clearly and appropriately. From there we can be genuinely empathetic and understanding of others points of view ultimately learning to identify and resolve dysfunctional patterns in your relationships.

Dr. David Shapiro
Psychologist, California Licensed Psychologist (License# PSY17495)
Heling couples overcome barriers in their relationships is a very common focus of my clinical work. I don't adhere to one particular model or approach but do tend to focus on helping both parties in the relationship understand each other's needs and to shift into responding to those needs in a caring way. Often this involves understanding each other's backgrounds, and unresolved issues from childhood. My view is that when these issues become activated our adult romantic relationships this can be a tremendous opportunity for healing if approached with love and consideration.
