Alma Tejeda Bolanos, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alma!

I am a bilingual Spanish/English psychotherapist specializing in Latinx family systems and individual adult therapy.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals and families who have experienced trauma and suffer from depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, and could benefit from parenting support.

My approach

I take an eclectic approach, including Cognitive behavioral therapy and attachment-based psychodynamic and person-centered approaches to meet each individual's needs.

My communication style

My priority is to provide a non-judgmental and genuine safe space for clients to open up, gain insight, share reflection, and gain skills to help meet their therapy goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I experienced struggles that I overcame through resilience and a positive mindset. Mental health has played a significant role in my life. I am grateful for navigating those challenges, as they guided me toward this profession, where I can assist others in overcoming adversity.

My goals for you

Goal setting is made through collaborative and mutual agreement and discussion.
