Hi, I’m Dr. Alejandra Acuña. I help high-achieving professionals heal from burnout, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect to their calm, grounded selves. You give so much to others—yet feel exhausted, stuck, or unseen. I offer trauma-informed, culturally-affirming therapy that blends insight, somatic tools, and deep emotional care. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, balance, and meaningful change. I’m available on Headway, Grow, and Rula platforms. My debut book, Stones, Flowers, and Lessons Learned, is out now and available on Shopify.
I help clients heal from burnout, codependency, and intergenerational trauma. My approach blends talk therapy, somatic tools, and culturally grounded care. We explore identity, set boundaries, and move from overwhelm to peace. Let's begin.
I offer a warm, collaborative space to explore what truly matters to you. Together, we set values-based goals and gently move from burnout or overwhelm toward clarity and peace. My approach blends deep listening, cultural attunement, and trauma-informed care to support meaningful, lasting change.
