Elexia Estrada, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Elexia!

I help clients with trauma, addiction, and mental health challenges find balance and wellness in life. My work is grounded in compassion and understanding, and I use she/her pronouns.

My focus

I work with individuals dealing with addiction, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, chronic illness, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, racial identity, relationship issues, self-esteem, spirituality, stress, substance use, trauma, and women's issues.

My approach

I use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Positive Psychology, and EMDR. I believe in tailoring treatment to fit your unique needs, and we work together collaboratively to create your personalized treatment plan.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental. I aim to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and validated. I will meet you where you are at in your journey with compassion and understanding.

My journey to mental healthcare

Since I was a kid, I've been interested in understanding why people do what they do and how I could help others. I have a fervent interest in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy and advocacy for minority populations. We work on your goals, not mine.

My goals for you

My goals for you are to help you gain insight and self-awareness, develop healthy coping skills, improve your relationships, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling, authentic life.

Our first session

In our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and start to identify your treatment goals. I will gather some background information and answer any questions you may have. Most importantly, we will begin building a trusting, collaborative relationship.
