Alejandra Frausto, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alejandra!

I work with teens and young adults facing anxiety and depression, offering a supportive space to build self-esteem and coping skills. As a bilingual, first-generation Mexican American therapist, I value culturally responsive care and empowerment. Reach out when you’re ready to begin.

My focus

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, or daily stress? I work with teens and young adults who need extra support navigating everyday life challenges. Using a person-centered approach with CBT and trauma-informed interventions, we’ll build coping skills, self-esteem, and a plan that feels supportive and empowering.

My approach

I use a person-centered, collaborative approach that meets you where you are. Depending on your needs, I incorporate cognitive behavioral and trauma-informed interventions to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and feel more empowered and in control of your healing.

My communication style

I support teens and young adults who need extra help navigating daily life, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem. I use a person-centered approach, integrating CBT and trauma-informed care. Sessions are collaborative, calm, and nonjudgmental, with active listening, gentle feedback, and practical tools you can use in everyday life.

My journey to mental healthcare

My therapy journey began as a first-generation Mexican-American, witnessing how mental health challenges impact families and individuals in my community. I was drawn to helping teens and young adults navigate anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I’m passionate about empowering clients, building self-esteem, and creating a safe, supportive.

My goals for you

I view therapy as a collaborative process. Together, we’ll set goals that align with your daily life and personal needs, whether that’s managing anxiety, enhancing self-confidence, or developing coping skills. Goals can evolve as you grow, and I’ll support you with practical strategies and encouragement to stay motivated along the way.

Our first session

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about your experiences, goals, and challenges, and we’ll discuss how we can work together. It’s normal to feel nervous—sessions move at your pace, and I’ll provide a safe, supportive space as we begin this journey together.
