Alejandra Arias

I offer client-centered, solution-focused therapy to adolescents, young adults and high school students. My name is Alejandra Arias, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Castro Valley, California.

Concerns I work with include stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, academic pressure, peer relationships, identity development and depression. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, and I use solution-focused therapy to spot what already works and to shape small, achievable goals. I add cognitive behavioral therapy techniques for reframing thoughts that are unhelpful.

My style is warm, empathetic and nonjudgmental. Active listening and validation of students’ experiences are central, along with guidance that supports self-reflection and growth.
