Getting to know Alena Kuzmenko

Hello, my name is Alena Kuzmenko, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from California Southern University. I am passionate about instilling hope and providing space for healing in the lives of individuals and families. My approach It is so important for me to fully understand my clients' needs and work collaboratively to meet their goals. I use an integrative holistic approach, utilizing various theoretical frameworks that best fit each client. Evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy are commonly used in my work. My focus I work with preteens, teens, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, codependency, postpartum challenges, premenstrual dysphoria, relational issues, life stressors, and addiction. My communication style Having been on the other side of the chair, I know how nerve-racking it can be to start therapy and trust a stranger with personal struggles. I aim to provide a compassionate, accepting, and hopeful environment because I truly believe in the healing power of therapy. My journey to therapy Therapy has personally saved my life. Through my own struggles and healing journey, I developed a deep desire to help others find their path to wellness. My goals for you Therapy is a partnership. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify, set, and adjust goals as needed. These goals guide our work and help us reflect on progress. My first session with you In our first session, we will get to know each other, address any questions you have, and explore what brings you to therapy. My hope is to create a space where you feel heard, accepted, and hopeful. I will also ask about what you want to see from our work together so you can achieve the results you desire.
