Alexandra Diaz, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Alexandra!

You've taken a huge step in seeking therapy. My sessions revolve around you and your environment to achieve personal growth and improved mental and physical wellness. I specialize in working with individuals with various issues and trauma. I'm here to provide a safe and comforting space for your betterment.

My focus

If you're struggling with an issue and are ready to discuss, process, and see change, I'm ready to work with you. I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and many other concerns. I'll help you create a plan, and we'll check on your personal growth and progress when we meet.

My approach

I use CBT, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Strength-Based, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, and Christian Counseling to help you identify and control your thought patterns, emotions, and behavior. Together, we'll discuss what's right for you and explore alternative actions and choices that make you feel ready and confident.

My communication style

I appreciate open communication to better understand your needs and concerns. Together, we'll establish a safe space during your counseling journey. I create a calm, supportive, non-judgmental environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working with children and adolescents, I saw their life changes, circumstances, and trauma and wanted to do more. I've provided counseling, supported families seeking resources, and worked as a bilingual therapist with detained youth. I continue working with students, providing counseling.

My goals for you

I believe therapy works when you're ready for change and open to discussing the issues you're experiencing. Together, we can work on issues and set goals based on how much you want to grow and challenge yourself. I'll support your growth and encourage you to see things from different perspectives.

Our first session

During our first session, we'll get to know each other and see if I'm the right therapist for you. We'll discuss what the process looks like, and I'll listen to your wants and needs before you embark on this life-changing experience.
