Alina Mikolaitis, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alina!

My approach in therapy is to focus on building organic relationships, process and resolve identified issues, and ultimately support you in reaching your goals to live a more positive and fulfilling life.

My focus

I mainly work with adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, postpartum, addiction, an array of mental health issues, familial, and relationship issues.

My approach

My therapeutic approach includes active listening, motivational interviewing, supportive counseling, strength-based interventions, mindfulness, positive thinking, solution-focused, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

My communication style

My tone consists of compassion, empathy, and understanding, nonjudgmental, safe and secure, honest and positive, encouraging and motivating, relaxed and peaceful.

My journey to mental healthcare

My experience as a first-generation from immigrant parents has instilled a strong work ethic in me to help others who may be struggling through hardships in life and feeling stuck. I am culturally sensitive, passionate, and motivated to help solve problems and make a positive impact on the well-being of my clients.

My goals for you

I work in collaboration with you to identify your treatment goals and provide support to help you make positive changes in your life to reach your full potential.

Our first session

A safe space for you to share your feelings and thoughts regarding the reason for seeking therapy, so I can get to know you better, build a therapeutic relationship, and create confidentiality where you can always feel free to express your emotions and concerns.
