Hi, I’m Evonne! I’m so glad you’re here. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and accepted just as you are.

I earned my Master’s in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University and have experience working with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and stress. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered therapy to help you better understand yourself, build healthy coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

I’m Elba Alvarado, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in relationships — with ourselves, with others, and with the stories we carry. I hold space for people navigating the quiet weight of expectations, the complexity of identity, and the patterns that shape how we show up in the world.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Vanguard University and my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and I have been providing therapy since 2018.

Originally from Connecticut I moved to California for a new beginning. This has shaped me into a therapist who is compassionate, funny, yet challenging. I use these skills, all while linking solid professional education with personal experience in supporting people to find their inner gifts.

I have a passion for working with those who are justice impacted. I work with adults who experience anxiety, depression, Infertility, grief and loss, and interracial relationship.
