Alma Jimenez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alma!

I work with young adults and adults facing anxiety and depression due to life changes and transitions. I also provide perinatal and postnatal support to new parents adjusting to their roles. My approach is client-centered, reflective, and empathic.

My focus

I work with young adults and adults dealing with life transitions, relationship and personal growth issues, and interpersonal dynamics. I help you navigate anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, postpartum depression and anxiety, and cultural differences.

My approach

My therapeutic approach focuses on building trust and helping you feel comfortable. I practice an eclectic approach based on empathy, reflective and active listening, solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and trauma-informed therapy.

My communication style

I focus on making you feel welcomed and comfortable by communicating in a calm, reflective, empathic, and supportive tone. I am personable and an active, reflective listener focused on helping you feel heard, seen, and acknowledged.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to help people on a one-to-one basis. I believe people with support can make changes they feel are necessary and want to make. People have always felt comfortable seeking my help and I enjoy helping others.

My goals for you

I practice a collaborative approach when developing goals with you. You decide the goals of treatment with support and guidance as needed. I help with redirecting and guiding you to achieve your goals with gentle and kind reminders.

Our first session

During our first session, I will reintroduce myself and explain the therapeutic process. I will start gathering information about you and your current life circumstances, as well as reasons for therapy. I will focus on asking you questions to gain your trust, build rapport, and learn what you hope to achieve through therapy.
