About

Hello, my name is Linda Alcala, I am a Bilingual (English and Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been in the mental health field for over eight years and have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, & the elderly, with a variety of challenges and mental health illnesses. I provide different treatment approaches; Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Narrative, Client-Centered, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). My approach I provide various treatment approaches based on the need of each client. I will provide a warm and welcoming space where the client will feel safe and able to talk about their challenges. I strongly believe that when given the right atmosphere, support, and tools, a person can overcome challenges. My focus I work with clients who struggle with issues such as relational issues, experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, bipolar and other challenges. I also work with single parents and individuals who are going through a chronic illness or those clients who might have a family with a chronic illness. I enjoy working with adults in helping guide them to self-clarity. I have experience working with families, parents, and children with open Child Family Services and victims of sexual abuse. My communication style I create a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental space for my clients to share their stories. A place where they feel safe and comfortable enough to talk openly about their struggles and challenges that are disrupting their life. My journey to therapy My interest in becoming a therapist started in High School and grew stronger as years went by and I began to face life challenges. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, my main goal is to help individuals grow from their struggles, heal from their pain, and move forward and get them to a place where they want to be in life.
