About Jimena
Born in Bucaramanga, Colombia, Jimena Beal first discovered her passion for psychology and human behavior while studying at the UNAB University. In 2007 Jimena moved to Los Angeles, CA.
In LA, she quickly found that one of the greatest challenges was meeting someone that had the potential for a long term relationship. She began asking why the dating environment was so radically different in the U.S. While discussing this with a friend, Jimena was referred to a woman that may be able to help. "Welcome to America!" were Doctor Pat Allen's words when Jimena described her challenge. Jimena knew this was the beginning of a new journey.
Under Dr. Allen, Jimena continued her psychology studies at WANT® INSTITUTE (http://wantinstitute.org). Jimena is a Certified Transactional Analysis Practitioner Instructor. Years later, Jimena found the final piece to complete her practice while at UCLA where she attended the Mindfulness Awareness Research Center. Diana Winston the Director of Mindfulness Education guided her Intensive Practice Program.
​
Most recently, Jimena continues to help individuals and couples all over the world and maintains her mindfulness practice.

"I love hearing people's stories and my passion is helping people find love. This takes as much internal work as it does external."

Be in the Relationship You Want...
Most people want true love but not all are willing to put in the work it takes to find and keep it. Change is necessary to break old relationship behavior patterns and build a new healthy love life. Are you ready to have the relationship you deserve?
You have worked hard for the life you have today: your job has been a priority and your career has paid off. You haven't found a long-term relationship even though you are out and about dating. You have tried online dating, meeting friends of friends and perhaps matchmakers. You start thinking maybe love is not for you?
You were sure that this person was the one. You were really happy making plans for the future when out of nowhere this person ends the relationship. This unexpected kind of break-up makes it very hard to move on. Dating new people seems more painful than staying home. How does one move-on?
You are usually in a relationship. Sometimes you have stayed too long; but it was comfortable enough to stay. You have been hoping it happens magically and that love will surprise you.However, you feel the clock is ticking. Sometimes you think about returning to a former relationship. Even if it wasn't the healthiest one. Is it better than than being alone?
You have being dating for a while and finally you have found someone to build a long term relationship with. You are ready to start a new life with and you just got engaged. However, things are not as magical as you thought. Each of your flaws start coming out and there are some things that you would like to change. Now is the time.
You have gone through the ups and downs of your relationship and survived them all. You tell yourself you are in the relationship you want but you find yourself growing apart. Can you re-ignite the passion? If so, how?
Some of these cases might sound familiar to your reality or your history might be different. No matter the starting point, I will be there to guide you and provide all the support you need to create and enjoy a fulfilling relationship.
Jimena is amazing. She takes the complexity out of dating, and breaks things down for me in clear, straightforward, and often with ingenious dating advice! She helps with the big questions ("How can I find a partner?"), and the small too ("How do I respond to this text?). But beyond fielding my dating questions, Jimena offers a holistic dating philosophy and strategy that I feel very confident will help me find a great guy. I feel highly supported and encouraged by her. I highly recommend Jimena!

I met Jimena 2 years ago. At the time, I was trying to work things out with my ex boyfriend and also focus on my career. When the relationship with my ex ended Jimena was there to support me through my break up and encouraged me to not give up on love. Going back to dating wasn't easy but her guidance and support was empowering through my process. A few months later I met the man of my dreams and we are now married. I still reach out to Jimena because being married doesn't mean that the work is over. It actually has just begun!

Jimena is absolutely fantastic!! Not only did she help me to understand clearly things I was doing to self sabotage but how to correct them. She has been an invaluable help in relationships and comprehending the complicated dynamics while learning to embrace my femininity to attract the type of man I want as a life partner. Before her, I was making so many mistakes that were make or break in developing a serious, long lasting relationship all while making me laugh and staying super positive and encouraging. I don't know where I'd be without her now.

Jimena is the best therapist there is!!! She is kind, compassionate, insightful, and most importantly she is has so much empathy! She’ll tell you the TRUTH and will help guide you with your issues like no other. I was struggling with my relationship and substance abuse problems. I don’t know what I would have done without her! Thank you JIMENA, you brought joy back into our lives.
