Monica (Love the Beach) Lozano Ferraro, CA AMFT & TX LPC-A

Couples, Couples, Couples, welcome! I enjoy working with couples all day long; and believe my direct communication, goal driven and accountability standards will give you both clarification for your future direction. Let's give it a go online because it's convenient, no traffic, no stress and no paying high gas prices.

Bottomline, I am an optimist, hopeful, enjoy encouraging and witnessing the potential growth of those who choose to change. Why would you even want to do something different? Because, the current patterns are not working for you. We will develop a collaborative treatment plan focused on the your couple goals. Additionally, you may choose to individually process your own trauma, which ultimately positively affects your relationship.


I am an EMDR trained therapist (working toward certification). EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy which is an evidence-based approach to treating trauma and PTSD. Listen, we all have little "t" trauma and/or big "T" trauma. Yes, this is the past "then and there" affecting your "here and now" current relationship(s). Your brain wants to heal and EMDR is the way.

Finally, my additional training is focused on: NP (Nurturing Parent Curriculum), DV (Domestic Violence), ISTDP (Intensive Short Term Psychodynamic), IFS (Internal Family Systems) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).

As an aside, I am an artist, scuba diver, zumba enthusiast and supporter of the arts: ballet, orchestra and theatre. Creativity is the essence of problem solving and living a life of exploration and discovery!
