Hello! We are so grateful that you've embarked on this journey of self-discovery, growth, & healing. We are a group practice based out of California led by Founder/Director, Patricia Alvarado. Collectively, we have over a decade of experience in the helping profession, assisting children, teens, and adults. Our approach involves viewing situations through a multicultural lens, enabling us to comprehend your unique needs through active listening, empathy, and a non-judgmental perspective. We specialize in EMDR, CBT, Solution-Focused Treatment, & Mindfulness.
We bring substantial expertise in trauma treatment, anxiety, stress, mindfulness, and grief. Our specialization involves utilizing an EMDR approach to facilitate the desensitization and reprocessing of negative beliefs. The goal is to avoid unnecessary re-traumatization by sharing minimal details that can create a lasting impact.
We are a team of EMDR trauma therapists dedicated to reducing barriers to mental health services. As part of this commitment, our practice is entirely conducted online through a HIPAA-secure video platform. This option allows us to establish a therapeutic relationship, actively addressing both your short-term and long-term goals in each session.
