Hi, I'm glad you're here. Starting or coming back to therapy can feel like the right step and still feel difficult. Life is full of both/ands: "I am struggling and I will be okay," "I have a great job and I'm still feeling depressed." I am here to support you through the dualities of life and help you carry and navigate both. My approach is warm, friendly, gentle, and at times directive. I won't ever tell you what decision to make, but I will support you in figuring out what makes sense for you.

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.

My background includes earning a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, along with a lifelong appreciation for personal growth, nature, and the healing power of connection.

These experiences have shaped my belief in the importance of honoring each individual’s journey and recognizing that growth often comes through both challenge and reflection.

Hi, I'm Aimie. I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. My background is unique in that it combines traditional psychotherapy with years of behavioral training, allowing me to understand not only why people think and feel the way they do, but also how those patterns show up in everyday life.
Throughout my career, I've worked extensively with individuals with anxiety, ADHD, autism, depression, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, perfectionism, and life transitions.
