Alex Carrasco
Hi! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. I received my Masters from National University and have been practicing for 10 years. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with managing their mental health. I am here to provide a safe and calming space to support my patients in becoming a better version of themselves.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us develop goals and objectives for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
For me the greatest attributes are being a good/active listener, holding each client in unconditional regard, and being respectful of each individuals healing process.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with adolescents and young adults through life transitions and navigating the stressors/adjustments they are experiencing. I enjoy working with patients eager to improve and learn the coping tools that will help them achieve their goals/challenges in life.

My treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I assist patients identify and challenge negative thoughts, and learn practical strategies to improve their quality of life. I will help them in the present rather than the past and assist in improving their daily mindset.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person Centered therapy will focus on the care on the needs of my patient. "You will be holding the steering wheel." I provide a safe and calm therapeutic space to help the patient work through difficult emotions, life transitions, incidents, traumas, etc.
