Alejandra Turpin, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alejandra!

I am a bilingual therapist who works with adults and older adults. I specialize in anxiety, stress, addiction, recovery, and caregivers. I focus on techniques to help you understand thoughts and behaviors, find your strengths, and motivate you to change.

My focus

I am a good fit for those experiencing anxiety, stress, and life transitions. I work with individuals and groups. I am well-versed in therapeutic techniques supporting caregivers, those with cognitive impairment, Dementia/Alzheimer's, and substance recovery.

My approach

I aim to provide support, create a safe space to guide you, and encourage change. My approach utilizes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing to help you develop understanding and learn the necessary tools for change.

My communication style

My communication style is understanding, calm, and easy to talk to. My priority is to create a space for you to be heard and to feel safe without judgment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career as a substance use counselor working with inpatient and outpatient programs. I continue working in a mobile mental health program focused on the homeless population, which validated my passion for providing therapy. I love working with adults and older adults.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to work together, discuss where you are and where you want to be, then establish realistic expectations. My goal is to create a safe environment for us to establish a trusting professional relationship.

Our first session

During the first session, I would like to listen to you, understand where you are, and what your expectations are about therapy. Let us work together.
