Alanna Everhart, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alanna!

I help others navigate life’s challenges in a way that feels supportive, grounded, and collaborative. I believe therapy works best when people feel emotionally safe, understood, and empowered to be vulnerable without judgment. My goal is to create a space where clients can heal, grow and develop healthier connections with themselves and others.

My focus

Those navigating internal battles, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional stress. We collaborate to better understand your experiences, strengthen your relationships, and help you move toward meaningful growth and healing. My approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your unique needs.

My approach

Those who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in difficult patterns. I create a safe, supportive space where people feel comfortable being vulnerable and truly themselves. My approach is collaborative and empathetic — I work alongside my clients to help them build insight, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change.

My communication style

My style is empathetic, supportive, and direct. I believe therapy works best as a collaborative process, where you feel empowered to lead at a pace that feels comfortable for you while also feeling gently challenged when needed. We will explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, identify your emotional and relational needs, and create change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I wanted to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives. I’m passionate about helping others better understand themselves, work through challenges, and become the best versions of themselves. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to heal, grow, and create a life that feels fulfilling and authentic to them.

My goals for you

By creating a supportive, collaborative, and emotionally safe environment where you feel comfortable being open and vulnerable. Through an empathetic yet direct approach, I guide clients in gaining insight into the patterns, behaviors, and relationship dynamics that may be contributing to emotional distress or keeping them feeling stuck.

Our first session

An opportunity for us to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and complete the intake. It gives you the space to ask questions and determine whether we feel like a good fit to begin working together on your therapeutic journey. My goal is to create a welcoming and supportive environment where you feel comfortable and heard.
