Professional statement

Alma Tejeda LMFT is a bilingual (Spanish/ English) first generation Latina, psychotherapist based in Southern California, specializing in Latinx Family systems, for individual adult therapy.

Alma believes that early childhood experiences and relationships shape the way in which individuals relate to the world as adults. In particular, how people experience, connect and relate in later adult relationships.

Alma takes an eclectic approach including Cognitive behavioral therapy (how thoughts feelings and behaviors are interconnected), and attachment based psychodynamic and person-centered approaches to meet each individuals need.

Alma enjoys working with individuals who have experienced past trauma and suffer with depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, perfectionism, and /or are going through life transitions.

Alma’s priority is to provide her clients with insight, reflection, and skills to help clients meet their therapy goals. Whether they are self-healing, self-growth, reducing symptoms, feeling more aligned, or working towards the ending of old cycles and patterns. Alma works at her client’s pace, and gently challenges them to challenge themselves.
