How to begin relationship therapy in Campbell & Online
How the Consultation Process Works
1. Schedule Your Free Consultation
Choose a convenient time using our online calendar through Simple Practice
2. Meet With Kari Del Real, Licensed Therapist & Relationship Specialist
During the 15-minute virtual consultation, we'll discuss your concerns, goals, and answer questions about therapy.
3. Decide If This Is A Fit
We will determine if we can move forward with our specialty services and schedule appointments if deemed a good fit. No commitment is required on your end if this is not a fit for you.
**For couples therapy, both partners are encouraged to attend if possible. Available consultation times are shown in the calendar portal. If the current month appears fully booked, use the calendar arrow to view future availability. A credit card will be required to hold the appointment but will not be charged until sessions begin.
Every month you put off therapy, the harder it becomes
When unhealthy relationship patterns continue unchecked, frustration, resentment, and emotional distance often grow. The longer these cycles continue, the more automatic they become.
Maybe some of this already sounds familiar:
-
You worry constantly about your relationship and whether things will ever improve.
-
The same arguments happen over and over, leaving both of you exhausted.
-
Emotional distance has replaced closeness and connection.
-
You feel lonely even when you're together.
-
Physical intimacy has become infrequent or disappeared altogether.
-
You're beginning to wonder whether the relationship can be saved.
When relationship patterns continue month after month, they don’t usually improve on their own—they become more familiar, more automatic, and harder to shift without support.
If you're looking for relationship therapy in Campbell, couples counseling near San Jose, or online therapy throughout California, Healing Therapy Services provides evidence-based counseling designed to improve communication, rebuild trust, reduce anxiety, and strengthen your relationship.

Frequently asked Questions
Do you work with couples who have lost intimacy or connection?
Yes. Many couples seek therapy because they feel like they've lost the spark they once had. Emotional and physical disconnection can develop for many reasons, including communication difficulties, unresolved conflict, broken trust, life stressors, or lingering resentment. Together, we'll explore the underlying causes of the disconnection and identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
I am struggling in my marriage but don't want marriage counseling, can you help me?
Yes! I work with individuals who are struggling in their current relationship or can't seem to lock a relationship down due to their own anxiety, past trauma, or other barriers getting in the way. You don't have to do couples counseling to get relationship help. We can do 1:1 therapy to start.
How long are therapy sessions, and how often do we meet?
Therapy sessions are 50 minutes and are typically scheduled once per week, especially at the beginning of treatment. The first initial appointments we meet weekly to build rapport and address all of your concerns and then eventually reduce frequency to bi-weekly. The overall length of therapy varies from person to person and depends on the challenges being addressed and the goals you would like to achieve.
Do you accept insurance, and what are your rates?
I am currently an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly. My practice specializes in relationship-focused therapy, and working outside of insurance allows me to provide treatment without many of the limitations.
If you're interested in individual therapy for relationship concerns, recent separation, or anxiety, please visit individual therapy fees page. If you're seeking couples therapy, for communication, intimacy, trust, & connection issues you can view current couples counseling rates.
Can individual therapy help if I have anxiety that hurts my relationships?
Yes therapy can help with anxiety. Many people who struggle with anxiety also find that it negatively impacts their dating life and relationships. You may overthink, worry about rejection, or find yourself repeating unhealthy relationship patterns. Many clients find that as their anxiety improves, they feel more secure, authentic, and confident in dating and relationships.
Do you take sides during couples therapy?
Great question and the answer is no! One of the most common concerns couples have before starting marriage counseling is whether the therapist will take one partner's side. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong or place blame on either person. Instead, I work to understand each partner's perspective and help both individuals feel heard, understood, and respected.
Do you help couples who are looking for therapy before marriage?
Absolutely! We offer pre-marital counseling for couples that want to start therapy before marriage. Those sessions help prepare for marriage. We go over values, concerns, and ways to strengthen relationship.
Can therapy help couples with communication problems?
Absolutely. Communication challenges are one of the most common reasons couples seek therapy. Over the past decade, I've helped many couples who felt misunderstood, dismissed, frustrated, or unable to have productive conversations. We will work to understand what's getting in the way of effective communication and develop practical strategies that help both partners feel heard, understood, and respected.
