Nayeli Del Real

Therapist

Virtual • California


I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California, and I have really wanted to build

something of my own for a long time. Going into private practice was not an impulsive decision. It is something I have thought about carefully, and I am committed to making it work well for the people I work with. My background includes clinical work with adults and families

across a range of settings from psychiatric hospitals, to non profits and private practice. I am based in the Coachella Valley and serve clients throughout

California via telehealth. I am also in the process of establishing an in-person office here in the

valley, because I know how hard it can be to find consistent, quality mental health care locally.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. I also work with people dealing with chronic stress, relationship challenges, and the kind of emotional weight that builds up when life keeps asking more of you than you feel you have to give. I have a

particular connection to working with Latino and bicultural clients, single parents, and people who are navigating coparenting and the identity shifts that come with it.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Irvine, CA

Searching for therapists in Irvine starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. Irvine therapists may support people with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, and major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and training align with your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Irvine has a strong local network of mental health professionals, with options near areas like University Park, Irvine Business Complex, and Spectrum. You may prefer in-person therapy in Orange County, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions that fit your schedule. To narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Irvine can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists Irvine, CA residents can book with directly by showing therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and have current availability. You can review profiles, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose a therapist when you’re ready.
