Marriage & Family Therapist in Palm Desert, CA

Sylvia Ann Trapuzzano, LMFT

Therapy in the Park

My specialty is relationship issues. We have relationships with our spouses, partners, family, work, community, and ourselves. I believe communication is the key to a successful relationship. Partners need to be able to discuss problems (communication) and figure out solutions (conflict resolution) in order to be happy.

I offer my clients traditional office sessions, certainly when weather dictates, and for those who are willing to embrace and trust the concept, I find that sessions under an open sky, with God's creations surrounding us, result in a more intimate sharing of inner feelings. And thus, you can reach faster and deeper resolutions.

Whichever method you prefer -- office, park, phone, or online services, your initial session includes a FREE, 30-minute Consultation.

Bio

With twelve years experience in the field of counseling adults, adolescents, and couples, I bring expertise in a variety of areas and truly love the work I do. And now, practicing my craft under an open sky, with nature's creations surrounding us, I have seen how much the nurturing of nature can help us to resolve the conflicts of our day-to-day lives.

We all experience times when we feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed, or at a crossroad in our lives. Even though the present is problematic, your future can still be successful. The decision to enter therapy is an investment in that future.

I work primarily with individuals, couples, and families to address the issues underlying communication differences. I assist couples with learning the art of fair fighting, reclaiming love within their marriages and when necessary I assist families who are new to co-parenting after a separation, divorce, or remarriage.

In addition, I work with couples that are planning to get married by empowering each partner with knowledge and tools for a strong relationship foundation. I also offer affairs counseling regardless of whether you are the hurt partner or the unfaithful partner. A few examples that we work on are rebuilding trust and self-esteem, talking about painful issues without you hurting each other, learning how to overcome your obsessive thoughts, and re-establishing love, intimacy, honor and respect in your marriage or relationship.

Sharing your challenges openly, with an experienced, non-judgmental professional, will make that investment pay off.

You can learn how to change your relationship, your life, your whole being into a happy and healthy person that you want to be. If you're ready to make changes in your life, then I look forward to working with you.
