“Alejandra took the time to understand me as a person and validated my feelings as a human being. I would sometimes apologize for becoming too emotional in sessions and she always made it a point to tell me I never have to say sorry for expressing my feelings in any way. I always feel like I’m in a safe space when talking to her.”

Getting to know Alejandra Guerrero
Hi there, I'm Alejandra!
Hello, my name is Alejandra Guerrero, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. I work with adolescents and adults experiencing depression, anxiety, emotion regulation challenges, and stress, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am based in Bakersfield, California, and provide services via telehealth statewide.
My approach
My approach is eclectic, client-centered, and strength-based. I lean on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
My focus
I am passionate about creating a safe therapeutic space for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) clients. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who need to build social skills, improve self-esteem, or navigate life stress and hardships. I support clients dealing with anxiety, depression, anger, or grief.
My communication style
My communication style is engaging, personable, and sincere. I use humor for comfort and cheer, helping clients feel more comfortable and open during sessions. I am direct at times to ensure I understand the client and provide reflection for further processing.
My journey to therapy
I am a first-generation college graduate and proud daughter of an immigrant farmworker. My experience overcoming adversity has drawn me to the helping profession. I advocate for individuals to improve their emotional and mental health, strengthening the quality of their lives. I’m proud of you for taking the first step and prioritizing your mental wellness. Whatever brought you to therapy today, may you find the hope, support, and guidance to continue your journey.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting begins by allowing clients to share their reasons for seeking therapy. From there...
