Rebecca Kahane, LMFT
Helping couples, individuals and teens
create happy healthy relationships
Do you remember what your relationship used to feel like?
Time goes by, things happen and you and your partner begin to feel the distance and dissatisfaction.
You and/or your partner may be wondering:
How can I have recreated my parent's relationship?
Why are we having the same old arguments about money, kids, sex, in-laws etc.?
Why do we communicate like we are from two different planets?
How can I be attracting the same type of unhealthy relationship again?
Why do I feel judged, misunderstood, alone, and unloved?
How can I feel so angry, sad or anxious all the time?
Why does he/she always need to be right?
Why can't he/she commit?
Should I stay or leave?
Let us help you to recreate the loving relationship you once had
You may be wondering why the relationship you are in feels so familiar? Well it is! In some mystical way we are drawn to our relationships in an unconscious attempt to repair the emotional wounds of childhood. We are unintentionally recreating home. With greater conscious awareness you can begin to create a new vision for your relationship. You will experience how the relationship becomes an opportunity to be in service to your own growth and healing. Your relationship will never be like the first date or first year but you may come to experience a deeper more profound mature love that is only possible with years together.
I acknowledge your courage for taking the first step to get the support you need in order to create a deeper, more intimate and meaningful relationship and experience more joy and enthusiasm in your life.

Bio
Rebecca Kahane is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in individual, couples and family psychotherapy, and maintains a private practice in El Segundo, California. With over 10 years experience as a clinician, and a graduate of the University of Santa Monica, she is currently serving as private practitioner working with a broad spectrum of clients.
Rebecca is a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist. Her treatment approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients resolve current problems and long-standing patterns. She incorporates a blend of conventional and alternatives approaches, drawing upon a variety of styles and techniques to incorporate what will be most helpful for each client. With sensitivity and compassion, she works with each client to help them build on their strengths to identify and achieve life goals.
Rebecca is also a skilled life coach. She believes that psychotherapy and motivational coaching are interdependent parts of a two-step process of change: the therapeutic work alone must be done first if the motivational work is to be successful. However, for some clients, the therapeutic work alone, without the subsequent motivational work, is often not enough for clients to actually move forward and achieve their goals. Therefore, the process of therapy changes from insight and commitment to movement and change.
As an adjunct instructor at Argosy University in the undergraduate department, Rebecca beleives in giving back to the profession by preparing her students for their future as licensed therapists.
