Alberta Kaichian, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alberta!

I create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, challenges, and goals. My focus areas include anxiety, depression, relationship and family dynamics, grief and loss, life transitions, trauma, self-esteem, emotional regulation, and pregnancy, postpartum, or infertility issues.

My focus

I work with adults facing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, life transitions, self-esteem struggles, trauma, and emotional regulation difficulties. My approach supports clients seeking personal growth, healing from past experiences, or improving coping strategies and overall well-being.

My approach

I use a client-centered, flexible approach that adapts to your unique needs. The therapeutic relationship is essential to growth, so I build trust and rapport with each person I work with. I draw from CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, ACT, MBCT, Gestalt, Person-Centered, and Solution-Focused therapies to help you feel heard, understood, and supported.

My communication style

I create a compassionate, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. Our work is collaborative and supportive, moving at your pace. I encourage you to be your best self and pride myself on fostering openness without fear of judgment as we work toward meaningful change and growth together.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a provider grew from a passion for helping others navigate life’s challenges. Through my education and clinical experience, I’ve developed a strong understanding of how relationships and past experiences shape well-being. This work continues to be both meaningful and rewarding.

My goals for you

I help clients reach goals by creating a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore thoughts, emotions, and patterns. Together we identify triggers, build insight, and develop practical coping skills. I focus on small, consistent changes and aligning goals with each client’s values to support lasting growth and confidence.

Our first session

In the first session, I focus on creating a comfortable, supportive space where clients feel heard. We discuss what brings you to therapy, current challenges, and goals. I also gather background information while moving at your pace, so we can begin building a collaborative and trusting relationship.
