Virtual and In Person sessions offered.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? You're not alone—and you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m Alexandra Barcelo, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping children, youth, young adults, and women navigate life’s challenges. I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and I offer a warm, empathetic, and culturally competent space where healing can begin.

I offer in-person and video sessions with flexible hours and weekend availability.
My practice is rooted in the belief that there is power in knowing and telling your own story. Who are you? Where did you come from? What's important to you? Let's work together to untangle your story, identify your strengths, goals, passions, and barriers; and make you the author of what comes next. I work with people who want to make positive changes, but feel paralyzed by stress, fear, indecision, or old habits. I can also help you learn concrete strategies for managing uncomfortable thoughts, emotions, transitions, health conditions or problematic relationships.

Relationships are hard...
We try to talk things out, but we never seem to get our point across. We try not to fight, but we always end up having the same fights. We are left feeling tired, frustrated, uncared for and alone. If what it takes is to give up a part of me to be in this relationship, maybe it's better to be alone...
Rather than succumbing to fear and doubts, therapy offers an opportunity to recognize our value, our needs, and the role that we play in challenging relationships. Here's an opportunity to find a sense of belonging, mutual support, safety, and love.

Only Equine-assisted Therapy sessions are in Person.
Bienvenidos/Welcome! I am a bilingual/bicultural Spanish-speaking therapist located in the East Bay area of California. I have been working with children, teens, and adults of color struggling with an array of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship satisfaction, life purpose, trauma, postpartum depression, and spirituality, related to life transitions, family stress, trauma, and grief. Although my work has focused on the unique needs of minorities and underrepresented individuals, being a member of that community is certainly not a requirement for your personal development.

I consider what social pressures or situations impact your thinking/emotional states and what therapeutic approaches might be most helpful. I take into account the client's unique human diversity, personal development, and spirituality. Together, we select achievable goals and work toward those.

Emotional healing occurs most readily in the context of a safe relationship that is simultaneously supportive, responsive and empathic, but that also challenges you to venture outside of your comfort zone. My therapeutic approach is client-centered, partnering with you in your individuality to help you reconnect with your own inner strength and wisdom. I can help you to make connections between your past experiences and present circumstances in order to better understand yourself, enabling you to make changes that translate into a more vibrant and fulfilling life.

I am trained in Attachment Focused EMDR for virtual or in person sessions.
As a clinician, I integrate relational mindfulness, somatic awareness skills, a sense of humor, and attachment-focused EMDR skills, within an anti-oppression framework. I will encourage you to deepen your mind-body awareness, listen to and respect signals you get from your body and question the beliefs underlying repetitive negative emotional states.

During in-person sessions, my Medical Alert Service Dog will be present– if you have questions or concerns, please reach out and I will be happy to discuss.
I approach therapy with eagerness, curiosity, and a deep commitment to understanding your subjective experience; no matter your background, it’s brave to seek support, and I believe you deserve 100% empathy and compassion. I focus on sex and relationships (queer, kink, polyamory, open relationships, sexual dysfunction, communication), older adults, and disability. I am also interested in working with family members of those serving in the military. I work best with clients who are ready to engage in meaningful reflection and explore difficult questions: if you’re ready to dig deep, I’m ready to meet you wherever you are.
