Alecia Christensen, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alecia!

I focus on trauma and anxiety while treating other concerns. I believe we can find emotional regulation and security even amidst uncertainty and lack of control.

My focus

I work with clients struggling with trauma, anxiety, feeling out of control, life adjustments, and feeling unsatisfied. Common life adjustments range from transitioning between life stages to grief. My clients are motivated to be challenged, desire to deepen their insight, and want to see change.

My approach

I walk alongside you on this journey of healing, collaboratively working through your current life stressors and providing tools to live a life you enjoy. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, trauma-focused CBT, Narrative therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Attachment-based therapy, Imago, and Emotionally Focused Therapy.

My communication style

I'm caring, reflective, and passionate. I strive to be a safe person while providing a safe therapeutic environment. You lead the way on this journey, as I believe you have full autonomy without me having my own agenda. I adapt to what you need: a safe person, a confidant, a cheerleader, and an encourager.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always dreamed of being a therapist. In my own journey, I experienced true healing through the therapeutic process, which led me to desire that for others. This work is hard, but it's the best way to honor yourself by letting yourself heal. I'm honored and excited to start this work with you.

My goals for you

I work collaboratively with you to create goals for the therapeutic process and make sure you know what to expect. After we create goals together, I circle back to each one so you feel like you're making progress.

Our first session

I'll be excited to get to know you. We'll explore your goals, what brought you to therapy, and start building a therapeutic relationship. I believe authentic rapport is one of the most important parts of therapy.
