Dr. Alma Pozo-Breen

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 30 years of experience working with diverse populations, including individuals navigating trauma, crisis, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and relationship challenges. My upbringing in Calexico, California, and Mexicali, Mexico, has given me a deep cultural understanding that shapes my person-centered approach to therapy. I am committed to guiding clients through their unique journeys using evidence-based practices, creating a safe and compassionate space where healing and personal empowerment can thrive. As a bilingual therapist fluent in English and Spanish, I strive to bridge language barriers, ensuring accessible and meaningful support for all.

I take a positive, holistic approach to therapy, firmly believing that true healing begins with enhancing self-esteem and prioritizing self-care. With over 30 years of experience working with diverse populations, I use a person-centered method—where you lead, we progress at your pace, and every session is designed for your comfort and well-being. My evidence-based techniques and cultural sensitivity empower clients to achieve growth and wholeness in a nurturing environment.

Please note: I am not a medical doctor and do not prescribe medication.

Many clients express feeling a sense of relief and clarity after just one session. From the start, we focus on building rapport, and I genuinely want to hear your unique story. My priority is creating a safe, comfortable space where you feel at ease—never pressured to share more than you’re ready for or to open up before trust is established. I believe in a therapeutic relationship built on trust and respect, allowing you to set the pace. Clients often describe our conversations as feeling natural and supportive, like talking with a friend, yet they leave with new insights and personal growth. To me, that’s exactly how therapy should be.
