Alejandra Tapia, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alejandra!

I believe in self-actualization, and I am an advocate for challenging oneself in order to grow. Though it may feel scary or intimidating, there is great power in pushing past our own comfort zones, as the best version of ourselves lies beyond our self-made limits.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals on issues related to anxiety, behavioral issues, coping skills, depression, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, sexual orientation, and stress.

My approach

Throughout my individual work with clients, I take a holistic approach to treatment that is both patient and honest in nature. I draw upon attachment-based, client-centered, cognitive behavioral (CBT), psychodynamic, and strength-based modalities in an integrative manner.

My communication style

I challenge my clients in a respectful and safe environment, with client-identified goals leading the journey. My communication style aims to be patient and honest.

My journey to mental healthcare

I earned my Master of Social Work degree on the path to becoming a therapist. My motivations stem from a desire to help people actualize their full potential and grow beyond self-imposed limitations.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you to challenge yourself, step outside your comfort zone, and become the best version of yourself. I aim to provide a supportive space for you to work through issues, build coping skills, improve relationships and self-esteem, and successfully navigate life's transitions and stressors.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and begin to identify your goals. I will seek to understand your background, current situation, challenges, and strengths. We will start to build a rapport and therapeutic relationship to provide the foundation for our work together.
