Hello, this is Alejandra Vachon LMFT. I graduated from Mount Saint Mary's University in Los Angeles, CA. I love my profession, working with families and individuals that seek mental health treatment. I have great respect for the families and individuals that are looking to be more clear of their thinking and feelings. As a trained clinician I validate feelings and the different life styles of my clients.

I have been a licensed therapist for 19 years. I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is formed in a collaboration between myself and my clients in an environment of mutual acceptance and respect. In addition to my education, training and experience as a therapist I rely on my innate skills as an active listener, my good memory and genuine caring to guide me in my approach to therapy.

I have a strong foundation as a therapist. Since 2009, I have provided psychotherapy to adults, children, youth, and families focused on helping them to live happy and fulfilled lives. I specialize in trauma related care, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, CA, and I’ve worked in mental health care since 2012. My background includes community-based work, trauma-informed care, and leadership in training and clinical development. I earned my MSW from NYU and specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults navigating changes - career shifts, identity questions, or simply trying to feel more at home in themselves. Clients often say they feel safe, understood, and more at ease after we talk. I believe therapy works best with a good sense of humor - even in hard sessions, there’s room for relief and laughter.

My hope is to be able to help others navigate life's obstacles with an authentic and nonjudgmental approach.

I specialized in Trauma while earning my degree and have helped many individuals, couples, and families work through and overcome the aftermath of traumatic events. I also have several years of experience helping people struggling with anxiety and depression.

One of the most important aspects of the therapeutic healing process is the connection between the client and therapist, so I encourage authentic communication if you do not feel we are a good fit as it can be an example of advocating for yourself in a powerful way.

Hi, most of my adult life has been spent working with others in the area of mental wellness. It is a passion to help others grow, learn, heal and self actualize. I am a wife, stepmother, mother and owner of 3 fur babies. Horseback riding, surfing, travel and meeting new people energize me as does a day of peace and solitude in nature.

I received my PhD from Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and have experience in community mental health, university counseling center, and hospital settings. I also worked as a professor at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology and as a clinical supervisor for doctoral students before transitioning to my current full-time private practice. I enjoy working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, and I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, and spiritual/faith-related concerns. I believe authenticity and humility are essential qualities in an effective therapist, which is why I am committed to my own ongoing personal growth and development as part of my clinical role.
