Getting to know Alejandra Acuna

Hi there, I'm Alejandra Acu?a, LCSW22903. I offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals and families, specializing in trauma recovery, reducing symptoms of PTSD, and improving family communication and child behavior. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and I strive to create a culturally responsive and supportive environment where you can heal, grow, and achieve your goals. I draw primarily from CBT and SFBT, which align with my belief in the resilience and inherent strengths of each person and family. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. I use CBT to help clients understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected, guiding them to develop healthier ways of thinking and coping with challenges. SFBT emphasizes a collaborative, goal-oriented process that highlights clients' strengths and resources. I use SFBT to help clients envision their preferred future and identify small, actionable steps toward achieving their goals, building on what is already working in their lives. Additionally, I integrate culturally responsive practices into my work, ensuring therapy aligns with the unique cultural backgrounds and experiences of clients. My style is collaborative, strengths-based, and adaptable, aiming to meet clients where they are and guide them toward positive change and growth. I typically work with individuals and families navigating the challenges of trauma, toxic stress, and life transitions. Many of my clients seek relief from symptoms of PTSD, such as difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, irritability, and feelings of disconnection.
