As a licensed therapist trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), I specialize in teaching couples like you how to enhance support within your relationship. Learn effective expression to foster mutual understanding and care.
For individuals who feel like a burden, can't share things with the people in your life, or usually keep to yourself, my practice can support you.

Your Free
Phone Consultation
I’m glad to offer a free 10-minute phone consultation to help you know what to expect in couples therapy.
Please choose an available time together.
(It’s expected that you’ll both be in the same room together on speakerphone.)
Insurance is stressful
But a PPO can help. I provide a monthly Clinical Superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. This document will allow your PPO to cover some of the session's cost.
You would forward this to your provider.
But check to see if you have a PPO or HMO, this only works for PPO insurance holders.

Alejandro was wonderful. He was a very caring and thoughtful therapist. My husband and I found him quite helpful with navigating the ups and downs of the relationship prior to us getting married.
My partner and I have been going to Alejandro since August for couples counseling and it has helped our relationship and how we communicate tremendously. We are incredibly lucky we found someone so great. Highly recommended!
Alejandro was our couple's therapist and I couldn't recommend him enough. I've already sent three different couples to him. He is non-judgmental, empathetic, sharp, intelligent, knowledgeable, professional and engaged.
Our sessions made us better listeners and allowed us to communicate better without undermining each other's thoughts and feelings. We definitely would recommend him for couples therapy. He was a great listener and compassionate.
Alejandro identifies the source of our conflicts and guides us to create new patterns of behavior. He is very intuitive and figured out the dynamics of our interactions and how to help us pretty quickly. We have had many breakthroughs in our sessions thus far.
He is very serious about the subject matter yet can be very casual about his approach and delivery which makes us feel comfortable. I have seen such a great improvement on how we view ourselves and each other.
What I appreciated most is that he walks the line between bluntness and kindness so well. I'm a no-nonsense type of person so Alejandro was a really great fit.
My husband really felt heard and has continued to use what we learned in our sessions and we both continue to grow, but truly our marriage has come around thanks to the guidance of Alejandro. He has a gift and was a gift to us.
I can't say enough about Alejandro. He's personable, patient, and can call the issues at hand out within minutes of listening to you which is a gift.
We highly recommended him to anyone who is ready to make a positive shift in their relationship or looking to improve their communication. We are grateful to have found him.
Truly appreciate everything Alejandro has done for my husband and I. I wasn't the easiest of patients but Alejandro really listened and understood what I couldn't say sometimes, and he is the kindest and has the patience of a saint. Helped me find my voice.
TeleHealth
A wonderful benefit of working in Telehealth as a Licensed Couples Therapist in California is I'm able to provide online relationship counseling in Los Angeles or Hollywood, virtual couples therapy in San Fransisco or Emeryville, virtual couples counseling in San Diego or Chula Vista, all within the same day. I can offer online marriage counseling for a young couple in Mountain View, online LGBT couples counseling in Los Angeles, premarital counseling in Santa Clarita for a recently engaged couple, or online emotionally focused couples therapy for an interracial couple in Irvine experiencing cultural differences.
What matters most is that you are in the same room with each other for our sessions. I'm an inclusive therapist and welcome couples from mixed backgrounds, in interracial relationships, and offer LGBT Couples Counseling and Latinx Therapy. Happy to meet with you soon to help you and your partner feel understood.
