I feel that my clients can reach their potential. I am very open minded, empathetic and conscientious in working together with clients who I will go to great lengths for, to help them reach their potential. I work with clients to resolve issues that cause them to feel depressed and anxious. This could include self esteem or relationships issues such codependence, boundary or communication. Clint's discomfort could also emanate from addictions which either be related to substances or behaviors. I also help my clients to resolve past traumas, which could include sexual, physical or emotional abuse which are still affecting their lives today.

Life can be difficult. Managing the ups and downs of life can be especially stressful for those suffering from anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addiction. Putting down unhelpful habits can be hard. Even if you are in recovery, maintenance is not always easy. We often turn to things to make us feel better, not realizing the damage this does. Taking things one day at a time and choosing healthy coping mechanisms can be easier said than done. Sometimes extra support is needed to make the right choices.

Our journey through life has no straight lines. It is overflowing with unpredictable twists and turns. Over time, we develop chronic and automatic responses that sap our vitality and rob us of the ability to experience the positive feelings of love, joy, and pleasure. As a result, people enter therapy wanting to change something about themselves, their circumstances or their relationships. Every person, above all else, wants to give and receive love. The client is the single, most potent contributor to successful therapeutic outcome. I, therefore, tailor treatment to the needs of each individual via office or Telehealth sessions.

My clinical focuses are psychological and psychoeducational assessment in school and clinical settings for intellectual disabilities, gifted status, learning disabilities, ADHD, emotional and personality disturbances, and adaptive functioning deficits. I provide individual, family, and couples therapeutic services for children, adolescents, and adults suffering from anxiety, depression, divorce, grief, sexual confusion, social skills deficits, behavior/school problems, and trauma.

Hi! I'm Dr. Alfaro Vela and I am devoted to working with individuals, couples, and families alike.

My goal as a therapist is to provide clients with a safe space to explore their emotional horizon.

When you make a decision to see a therapist you want to be seen soon. You want your call or inquiry responded to within a reasonable time. You want to trust that the therapist is licensed and has the experience and credentials to deliver the best care possible. As your therapist I respond personally to every inquiry or call. I try to see each new client within a few days of their initial inquiry either in the office or via tele-therapy. I leave that decision to you.

I am a licensed psychologist here to help you find meaning and create change so you can lead the life you want to live. I have had the privilege of helping people that are scared, sad, frustrated, stuck, lonely, confused, or fed-up. My approach to psychotherapy involves collaboration, honesty, and a strong therapeutic relationship. As a practitioner informed by science, I value evidence-based techniques. I also value flexibility; not everyone thinks or works the same way.
