Alexandra Murillo, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alexandra!

I reconnect individuals to their passions, values, and help create a meaningful life that is worth living.

My focus

I have worked with various individuals who suffer from mild to severe depression and anxiety.

My approach

My foundation is cognitive behavioral therapy, but my main approach is acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

My communication style

I create a safe setting that motivates you to take control and ownership of your mental health. I encourage you to try new coping skills or to reconnect with previously utilized ones. We work together to determine what works and areas of growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

Empowering others to manage their own mental health and seeing the success of when people do.

My goals for you

I meet you where you are at while providing feedback on areas that may help improve your overall mood.
