Getting to know Cassandra Alfaro

Hi there, I'm Cassandra! I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from Azusa Pacific University. I’ve had exciting opportunities to work in a variety of therapeutic settings including an inpatient psychiatric hospital treating a higher level of acuity, intensive outpatient program supporting teens. My focus I work best with teens, adults, couples, and families who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected. I support clients navigating trauma, emotional regulation, substance use, relationship concerns, and major life transitions as they build more grounded and intentional lives. My approach I provide warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed care that balances compassion with structure. I draw from Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and DBT to help clients understand patterns, build emotional safety, and create meaningful change. My communication style My communication style is calm, direct, and nonjudgmental. I create space for clients to feel heard while also asking thoughtful questions, offering honest feedback, and helping them slow down and make sense of what they are experiencing. My goals for you I help clients clarify what they want to change, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and create realistic goals together. We regularly check progress, adjust the plan as needed, and build practical skills that support lasting change. Our first session This is a chance to begin sharing your story in a safe, supportive space at a pace that feels comfortable. We'll explore what brings you to therapy, what feels most important right now, and what you hope will change. There is no pressure to have everything figured out. Our focus is building trust, gaining clarity, and creating a plan moving forward
