My name is Amelia Argueta-Alonso. I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California for about four years. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and am available to conduct sessions in both languages. I began my career working with children in play therapy and have transitioned to working with adults for the past three years of my practice.

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

Building rapport is essential to me. In the first session, I try to make my Client feel as comfortable as possible, creating a safe space to help them process their challenges and worries along with asking assessing questions so that I could have a picture of their overall presenting problem.

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

My biggest strength as a provider is empathizing with my Clients. I focus on active listening and phrasing to ensure I understand them. I avoid exposing my own beliefs, keeping an open mind and objective perspective on the therapeutic process.
