Practicing and learning new ways of thinking, reacting, and understanding are possible within the safety of a therapy relationship in which old beliefs are challenged and new ones are tested. Practicing new behaviors is easier when you understand why you needed the old one and feel ready to try the new. I am interactive and respectful of each person's uniqueness. Psychotherapy can be a deeply moving experience as well as transformative, and I can help you address and transform the inner beliefs and interpersonal difficulties that sabotage your success in love, friendship, and work. Years of experience have seasoned me as a clinician.

Clients come to my practice looking for a therapist who can get to the root of their problem, and help them overcome anxiety and build confidence.

Clients who are highly motivated to start working on themselves.

Hi! I'm Lynette Alarcon I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Southern California. I have been in the field for 5 years treating Individuals with depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, trauma and addiction. I enjoy working with different demographics that may be struggling with anxiety, depression, thought disorder, self-image and interpersonal issues. I place a lot of emphasis on the therapeutic rapport. I strongly believe that a good therapeutic bond is a key intervention in helping clients reach their goals. I also enjoy implementing CBT, Solution Focused and DBT aspects into my work.

The essence of my work lies in creating a relationship with you in which you would feel safe to engage in an inner journey home - opening your heart to yourself, cultivating compassionate self-understanding and developing trust in what is being felt in the moment. Old hurts and self-defeating beliefs can cause us to defend against vulnerable feelings impacting our capacity to trust, ourselves and others, and our ability to connect intimately, think positively regarding our deepest life concerns and open to love, allowing it to work its way through us impacting and inspiring all areas of our life.

My approach to psychotherapy is holistic. I not only treat the "tip of the iceberg" problems, but also address the deeper, "bottom of the ocean," issues. I treat the whole person and honor the mind-body-spirit connections, taking into account the client's cultural, religious and ethnic background, ancestry, race and immigration history. I recognize the complexity of each person's history and circumstances and employ a wide variety of techniques to guide my clients in their self-discovery.

I have provided psychotherapy for over 12 years, specializing in Trauma, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, Mood Disorders, and Adjustment Disorders, among many other concerns. I primarily focus treating individuals (individual therapy) with a focus on understanding relational concerns (how various relationships affect functioning, i.e., work, family, friends).

Trauma & anxiety can leave us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up with feeling overwhelmed throughout the day, isolated from friends who don't understand, or unable to set and maintain boundaries that put you first. You may not even remember a time you didn’t feel this way. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to enjoy deep and loving relationships without your past getting in the way. You’re ready to create more confidence around your needs. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself again & to face your future with a sense of hope.
