Hi there, I'm Maria! Maria Alfaro, LMFT. I can offer you a healing experience that is sensitive to your strengths as well as your pain. I believe in respecting clients and their intrinsic wisdom and can help you gain a joyful, peaceful life. I specialize in trauma, sexual abuse, relationship problems, anxiety, depression, victims of crime, and post-traumatic disorders. My approach I am a trauma-competent therapist and can guide families through understanding issues related to their experiences. I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psychodynamic approaches to help you better understand the underlying issues. My focus I specialize in helping teens, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds heal with an attachment-focused, strengths-based, and non-judgmental lens. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish) and understand the acculturation challenges some people experience in their lives. In addition, I can provide assistance with the bariatric surgery recovery process and help you understand the new you. My communication style I have a kind, sincere approach to counseling, and we can work together to help you sort through the issues bothering you. I want to join you on your journey toward healing and wholeness. My journey to therapy My path as a therapist began when I took a psychology class at California State University, Northridge, where I earned my Master's in Counseling. I fell in love with the field the more I studied it. As soon as I was able to practice, it felt like I was exactly where I belonged. Knowing all the benefits clients obtain from therapy is so fulfilling?especially when you see a client making progress and viewing things from a different perspective. It is incredibly encouraging and motivating to continue doing this work.
