“Alejandra creates a space where I can say anything and I know she is listening intentionally. She also really pushes me to reflect and sit with at times uncomfortable truths or feelings. I never feel rushed or pushed to make certain connections, rather, she lets them come at a very natural pace during sessions.”

Getting to know Alejandra Arias
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #150824) with a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Holy Name University. I provide a client-centered, solution-focused approach to therapy, creating a safe and supportive space where students feel heard and empowered. I specialize in helping adolescents and young adults navigate challenges such as stress, anxiety, relationships, and self-esteem while building on their strengths to create meaningful change.
My therapeutic approach is client-centered, meaning I prioritize creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where students feel heard and empowered. I primarily use Solution-Focused Therapy to help my clients recognize their strengths, set achievable goals, and build confidence in their ability to navigate challenges. Additionally, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help students reframe unhelpful thoughts and develop practical coping skills. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, focusing on what's working rather than just what's wrong. I tailor each session to the individual, ensuring therapy is relevant, engaging, and meaningful to the client's unique experiences and needs.
I focus on supporting high school students as they navigate academic pressures, social relationships, identity development, and mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and stress. I strive to create a safe and supportive space where students can express themselves openly, develop coping skills, and build resilience. I also collaborate with teachers, parents, and school staff to ensure a holistic approach to student well-being.
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental. I prioritize active listening and validating students' experiences while gently guiding them toward self-reflection and growth. My goal is to create a safe and welcoming space where students feel comfortable expressing themselves openly.
