My name is Lauren Alonzo, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I graduated from California Lutheran University in 2018 and have six years of experience helping clients identify the barriers that are preventing them from living life as their true, authentic self. I aim to normalize mental health struggles and remove the stigma that so often prevents individuals from seeking help.
Our first session will consist of lots of information gathering so that together we can create a holistic picture of current behavioral patterns that are keeping you "stuck". From there we can collaborate on mental health goals to help you reach your desired outcomes. We will highlight inherent strengths and identify areas of growth so that you can work toward a life you desire.
I provide a warm, collaborative, safe space for clients to explore mental health challenges. Anxiety specifically is near and dear to my heart, my goal is to let clients know that they are not alone in their suffering
