Getting to know Alma Pozo-Breen

Hello, I'm Alma Pozo-Breen, Ph.D., M.S., LPCC, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor dedicated to helping individuals discover meaningful paths toward healing, resilience, and personal growth. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology, and a Master of Science in Biology, which allows me to integrate psychological, biological, and behavioral perspectives into the care I provide. In addition to my licensure, I hold four nationally recognized certifications through the National Association of Forensic Counselors (NAFC), reflecting advanced training in forensic and trauma-informed mental health practices. These certifications strengthen my ability to provide forensic-informed consultation and specialized mental health services when legal, clinical, or complex behavioral health considerations intersect. With over 30 years of clinical experience, my work is grounded in 21 evidence-based therapeutic practices, allowing therapy to be thoughtfully tailored to each individual's needs. These approaches provide a structured yet flexible framework that supports emotional healing, resilience, and meaningful personal growth. I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and adults, and specialize in several areas of mental health care, including: Trauma Therapy in California and Montana Autism & ADHD Therapy in California and Montana Medicare Mental Health Services in California and Montana Forensic Mental Health Consultation in California and Montana

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

She is presenting me with tools to help me during challenging times. I feel I can discuss pretty much everything with her.
Good recommendations and allows patient to walk side by side with her on the journey.
I felt heard and understood, which is a struggle for me in general when getting help like this I am often wondering in the back of my mind if I am really being understood, and at first session I felt like I was understood, so I am excited about how good this is going to be.
Alma is so genuine and understands me and my situations. I feel like she is my friend not therapist with me saying this is the reason I have opened up to her completely and honestly. I just adore and love her.
You’re like a cheerleader to my complicated life—always there with encouragement, wisdom, and a calm presence when I need it most. You never tell me what to do, but instead, you guide me to think for myself, to slow down, and to focus on what truly matters. Thank you for reminding me that the decisions are mine to make, and for believing in my ability to make them. Your support means more than words can say.
I just completed my first session with Dr. Alma, and I am beyond happy! Dare I say... I'm already looking forward to my next one?! Dr. Alma is authentic, warm, and incredibly empowering. She truly listens, offers thoughtful feedback, and adapts to your comfort level. She’s also solution-oriented and creates a clear action plan with measurable steps to help you reach your goals. I’m genuinely excited for this journey with her.
I am completely happy with Dr. Alma. She is amazing and I felt right at home, I felt a connection with her and I Love her Energy!! ???????? I’m super happy and excited to be able to work with her!!
Dr Alma is a true gem. I'm so glad I found her and started therapy with her. She's so knowledgeable, empathetic, kind, and has an amazing sense of humor. As a new mom going through an incredibly difficult time she's helped me move away from doom and gloom towards happiness and laughter. I've recommended her to a few folks because her therapeutic approach has helped me so much.
