Hi! I'm Ava, a licensed psychotherapist specializing in self-esteem, depression, and trauma in women. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology & Education from UCLA and my Master's of Marriage & Family Therapy (clinical psychology) from USC.
Women who find me often describe feeling disconnected from themselves in ways that are hard to explain.
Most are in their 20s, many of whom are Latina, navigating identity shifts and redefining who they are after major life transitions. They may have ambition, potential, and clear goals, yet still feel held back by something invisible. That “something” often goes by many names: depression, low self-worth, insecure attachment, abandonment and rejection wounds, and unresolved relational trauma from childhood.
We often seek therapy when we're ready for change and part of our life has become unbalanced. A feeling of discontent, depression, or anxiety may have lasted a lifetime, or may have been initiated by a transitional change, such as loss of a relationship or career, or a yearning to grow beyond where we have been stuck. I welcome all parts of you, and will meet you where you are at in the journey towards wholeness.
I'm a therapist who believes real change starts with feeling truly heard. I specialize in working with motivated clients who are ready to take action and move forward in their lives, rather than staying stuck. If you want to feel more in control of your emotions, your choices, and your future, I offer a comfortable, supportive, and judgment-free space to help you get there. Together, we will make sense of what you are going through and find ways to help you feel more grounded and confident as quickly as possible. My goal is to help you build on the strengths you already have, even if you don't see them just yet.
Makenna Briceno is a dedicated therapist committed to supporting individuals as they navigate life's challenges. She provides compassionate and evidence-based care to adolescents and adults, helping them build resilience and develop the tools needed to improve their well-being.
I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.
