Hello, I’m Alma Pozo-Breen, Ph.D., a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a passion for guiding individuals on their unique paths toward healing and growth. I hold a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology, as well as master’s degrees in Counseling Psychology and Biology, which provide me with a multidisciplinary perspective to support my clients holistically.
With over 30 years of experience, my practice is rooted in twelve evidence-based practices, offering personalized, effective care designed to meet your specific needs. These practices not only provide a strong foundation but also serve as a way to positively challenge and inspire you, helping you build resilience, foster growth, and unlock your full potential.
Growing up in the culturally vibrant border towns of Calexico, California, and Mexicali, Mexico, I developed a deep cultural understanding and sensitivity that allows me to connect meaningfully with clients from diverse backgrounds. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and adults, creating a supportive space where every individual feels valued and empowered.
Throughout my career, I’ve held transformative leadership roles, including serving as the Director of the REDEEM program at the Children’s Center of the Antelope Valley and as Program Manager for the Justice Care and Opportunities Department in Los Angeles County, where I supported individuals re-entering the community.
In our work together, I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where you feel seen, heard, and supported. My evidence-based approach is designed to guide and challenge you in a positive, meaningful way, helping you achieve insight, growth, and a stronger sense of well-being.
