Are you feeling lost? Stuck in a rut? Need to untangle your thoughts? Hi, I'm Dr. Alfaro Vela and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. For 8 years, I have been working with clients in private practice to help them navigate the struggles of their daily lives. I strive to meet clients where they're at, and explore possible solutions to their problems. I am a firm believer that every client has specific strengths that we can work to uncover together.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, I typically explore a bit of my client's background, any previous experience in therapy, and what brings them to therapy at this time. By the end of the session, we will discuss short-term and long-term goals, or generally what the client would like to see different in their lives. At the end of some sessions, I offer homework that may be tangible or thoughtful.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is in my collaborative nature. My ability to meet clients where they're at allows me to offer guidance at my client's pace--not too fast or too slow. My interest in clients strengths and resources also offer clients a sense of hope for their futures.
