Alejandra Vega, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hello, my name is Alejandra Vega, LCSW. I am a Latina therapist who enjoys incorporating laughter into sessions. I meet clients where they are on their path toward better days and understanding. I hold a Master's in Social Work from the University of Michigan, which has deepened my knowledge and passion for mental health care. My approach includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Coaching. I work with children and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Together, we focus on improving self-esteem, reducing stress, and understanding values and self-worth. Working with me, you can expect laughter and a judgment-free zone. I'm here to honor your unique story and create a safe space for expressing emotions, fears, and worries. Growing up, both I and my family members struggled with mental health, but it was never openly discussed at home. It was difficult to understand my behaviors and emotions. My teen and young adult years were mentally tough, and not knowing where to turn, I struggled in silence. As I grew older and attended college, I became fascinated by how individuals process grief, trauma, and life transitions-and how easily we can become trapped in our own fears. Doing this work is most fulfilling when clients begin to shed shame, guilt, burdens, and fears, and start to understand their thoughts through therapy. I love helping youth feel supported and know there is someone cheering for their success. Therapy is what you make of it, and I will let you lead the way in goal setting. Small changes are victories that should be celebrated throughout your journey. In our first session, we'll get to know each other better. Feel free to ask as many questions as you need. I will also ask questions to determine if we are a good match.
