Alejandra Vega, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alejandra!

I enjoy incorporating laughter into sessions and meet you where you are on your path toward better days and understanding.

My focus

I work with children and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. We focus on improving self-esteem, reducing stress, and understanding your values and self-worth.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and coaching to help you process grief, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we explore how fears can trap us and find ways to move forward with clarity and confidence.

My communication style

You can expect laughter and a judgment-free zone. I honor your unique story and create a safe space for expressing emotions, fears, and worries without shame or pressure.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up my family members have struggled with mental health. However, mental health was never discussed in our homes. It was hard to understand my behaviors and emotions. My years as a teen and young adult were mentally tough; I struggled in silence. I love helping youth feel supportive and know that there is someone cheering for them to succeed

My goals for you

Therapy is what you make of it. You lead the way in goal setting, and I celebrate small victories with you throughout your journey.

Our first session

We'll learn more about each other, and you can ask as many questions as you need. I'll ask questions too so we can determine if we're a good match for each other.
