Alejandra Vento Ochoa, LPCC — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alejandra!

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and relationship challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping you feel understood, build on your strengths, and create meaningful change.`

My focus

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, relationship challenges, and the lasting effects of difficult life experiences. I am most comfortable supporting clients who want to better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, process the past, and create meaningful change.

My approach

Our work together will be guided by your needs, goals, and comfort level. I use CBT, EMDR, Solution-Focused, and trauma-informed approaches to help you understand your experiences, build coping skills, and work through difficult emotions at a pace that feels safe and supportive.

My communication style

You can expect therapy to feel warm, genuine, and collaborative. My goal is to help you feel safe, understood, and supported while offering encouragement, practical feedback, and gentle challenges when helpful. We will always move at a pace that respects your needs and personal goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to therapy because I have always valued helping others feel heard, understood, and supported. Becoming a therapist allowed me to turn that passion into meaningful work. I am inspired by helping clients recognize their strengths, heal from difficult experiences, and create lasting change.

My goals for you

Together, we will identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic for you. We will create a personalized plan, build practical coping skills, explore barriers, process difficult experiences, and strengthen your confidence. Along the way, we will recognize and celebrate the progress you make.

Our first session

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and begin building trust. We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your experiences, strengths, and goals. You are welcome to ask questions so you can decide whether you feel comfortable and supported moving forward.
