Alejandro Maya, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alejandro!

I am a bilingual Spanish-speaking Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR-certified, and currently completing my Somatic Experiencing certification. I work with a diverse range of clients navigating many different challenges, including complex trauma, a lack of coping resources, anxiety, dissociation, life transitions, and grief.

My focus

My therapy is collaborative, person-centered, and dedicated to helping you make progress toward your goals.

My approach

I am trained in several therapeutic modalities, such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, and Expressive Arts. I hold a master's degree in Holistic Counseling Psychology from John F. Kennedy University and graduate degrees in Expressive Arts from San Diego University for Integrative Studies and Ecopsychology from Naropa University.

My communication style

My communication style is collaborative and reflective. I aim to nurture your perseverance and creativity while offering a safe, focused space with steady support in a thoughtful therapeutic setting.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in this profession began with the personal development books I encountered early in life and a deep curiosity about what makes us behave, think, and feel the way we do. Personal and diverse challenges further deepened that curiosity and desire to work with others within the safety and focus of a therapeutic setting.

My goals for you

During our work together, you can expect to use your strengths to create opportunities for growth, support your therapy goals, and deepen your capacity to face challenges. We’ll continually draw on your strengths to help expand your ability to navigate life’s difficulties.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brings you to therapy and what you hope to gain from our work together. Your comfort level and the clarity of your goals will guide the pace of our sessions and your progress in therapy.
