About me

Relationship issues can be so painful and devastating as to believe life is losing meaning and that everything has fallen apart.

On many occasions, and especially when both agree to seek help, couples therapy is an enriching experience, where healthy spaces for communication, empathy, intimacy and growth are created. My work is to facilitate a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where you will be able to explore your feelings and treat each other with respect and empathy, allowing us to better work together to reach your goals. I also work with individuals and couples who are wanting to improve their feelings of overall happiness, life satisfaction and work towards self actualization.


Often times couples seek therapy because they feel stuck or unsatisfied with their marriage , or want to explore negative patterns that are holding them back as a couple. We will work on strategies that allow you to address the root causes of your problems, improve communication skills, build empathy & respect, learn effective problem-solving & conflict resolution skills, and strengthen connection, including intimacy.

If you are committed to working through your issues and to do the work required to improve your relationship, you are in the right place. And, if , on the other hand, you no longer wish to remain together, I can assist you in working it through and arrive to peaceful and respectful transition.

It will be a joy to work with you towards the search for healing, insight, and empowerment.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Ximena Abondano . We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

Ximena is really great at responding in a timely manner especially when you have an urgent matter to discuss. It seems like she really cares and gives you her full attention when you are speaking. Would highly recommend her!
