Elba Alvarado

Elba Alvarado

Therapist

Virtual • California


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.

Aubrey Pink

Therapist

Virtual • Placentia, CA


As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the world through the lens of relationships. I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, and religious wounds. I believe the work of therapy is in undoing aloneness. I became a therapist because I believe it’s in relationships we are injured and paradoxically, it must be through relationships that we heal.

Rachel Johnson

Rachel Johnson

Therapist

Virtual • California


Hi, I’m Rachel. Over the past 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, and life’s unexpected transitions. Many of the people I work with are adjusting to difficult life changes, searching for a renewed sense of purpose, or feeling anxious about speaking up, being around others, or even leaving the house. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to carry it alone.

I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself, without fear of judgment. Together, we’ll build practical tools, celebrate progress along the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more balanced, meaningful, and like your own again.
