I help clients dealing with the impacts of trauma, stress, anxiety, fatigue, or low self-worth get out of that survival mode and get back to being present and engaged in their lives. My specialty is working with helpers - people who've learned to prioritize something before themselves. Dealing with stressors and difficult experiences is an inevitable part of life, but how it impacts us doesn't have to be! I use an integrative and nervous system-informed approach to help you move forward and feel more connected and regulated. We work together to find the source of your struggles for deeper change.

A trusting and genuine relationship with your therapist is the most important part of the therapeutic process. This is why, despite the theoretic perspective, I strive to accomplish an authentic relationship with each and every person, family or couple that comes to see me. Whether your goals are to recover from trauma, evolve or repair your relationships, or to build a happier sense of a self, it all starts with a trusting well defined attachment to your therapist. Thank you for reading my profile and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi there, I'm Alina! My name is Alina Avila Sala and I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Sacramento, CA and working with clients statewide via telehealth. My client population & specialty focus I have found that my style and approach is a good fit for adults and young adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions and social pressures.

I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook on life.

I am accepting new clients! My ideal client is a motivated, introspective adult—often a healer, creative, or caregiver—seeking to reconnect with themselves after years of survival mode. They struggle with anxiety, depression, burnout, or disconnection rooted in intergenerational and systemic trauma. They crave emotional safety, authenticity, and belonging. Their goal is to heal old patterns, reclaim joy, and live in alignment with their truth. They want liberation, not perfection—peace, not performance—and to feel whole, grounded, and free within their mind, body, and spirit.

Through a respectful process of listening and questions, I work with you to help clarify your goals and values. I will help you find new perspectives and restore a healthy narrative that does not include feelings of blame or shame. We will work together to develop better skills at managing difficult emotions, such as sadness, disappointment, pain, and anger. We will learn to nurture feelings that are healthy and not those that can get us stuck. I hope to work with you to discover a sense of self-compassion and flexibility.

I work with people who are struggling, and decide take the courageous step to ask for help. Many have a history of trauma and suffer from anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, parenting challenges, sleep issues, sexual difficulties, chronic pain, relationship problems, and other post-traumatic responses. Also, present-day situations in our personal or collective worlds can be objectively hard to bear. Our experiences leave traces psychologically and somatically, so I use evidence-based, body-oriented, mindfulness techniques to address limiting patterns so that you can live more authentically today's challenging world.

As James Baldwin famously said, "not everything that has been faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed unless faced", I also offer you the following poem: "When we feel safe, anything is possible. We become unstoppable. Because we have a firm ground to launch and a safe ground to land. We can then stand. Voice ourselves, show ourselves. Life becomes a dance." With over 15 years of experience carefully providing integrative therapy (e.g., CBT, EMDR, ACT, IFS, EFT, Mindfulness, biofeedback, neurofeedback) and therapeutic assessments, I am excited to work collaboratively with you!

I help high-achieving adults who appear capable and successful on the outside but often feel tense, exhausted, or disconnected inside. Many grew up having to hold everything together, and those patterns still show up in work, relationships, and daily life. In therapy, my clients seek more than coping—they want to feel safe in their body, move out of survival mode, and connect with themselves and others in a deeper, more genuine way.

If you are reading this, take heart, as you've already demonstrated your courage. Many people, if not most, never seek the help they need, professionally or personally. As a therapist, my philosophy is that every person is unique in their own way, and this requires a unique solution to the challenges you face. People are incredibly complex, and many times this is why cookie cutter interventions often fall flat, because the client is not fully understood before interventions are prescribed.

If you are feeling down, coping with an overwhelming life change, or seeking more out of life and relationships, we can help. Accepting you right where you are with compassion and mindful presence are the cornerstone of our practice. Creating space for you to be, just as you are, problems, guilt, shame, disappointment and all, can be very healing. Once you feel heard and accepted, you can start opening to the guidance of your emotions, identifying blocks to joy, healing and recovery. This creates the space for goal setting and planning.

I often work with people who grapple with hard questions to which there is no one "right" answer. I offer a non-judegmental atmosphere in which each person can seek his or her own answers. Therapy is a co-creation. I work with each person to find what "speaks" to him / her. That may include talking, mindfulness practices, or creative arts therapies. Using these methods accesses parts of the brain that can't be reached through words alone, and puts people in the flow of their wisdom and creativity, from which solutions to problems can emerge.
