Baleska Alfaro

Welcome! I'm Baleska Alfaro, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over a decade of experience helping adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigate life's challenges. I earned my master's degree in Counseling Psychology and have specialized training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Family-Based Treatment (FBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). My approach is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral (CBT), and trauma-informed therapies to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your unique experiences and goals. My role is not to tell you what to do, but to help you better understand yourself, identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to create meaningful, lasting change. I strive to balance empathy with thoughtful challenges, helping clients build insight while also learning skills they can use in their everyday lives.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another and begin building a foundation for our work together. I'll take time to learn about what brings you to therapy, your personal history, your strengths, and the goals you'd like to work toward. I'll also answer any questions you have about the therapy process so you can feel informed and comfortable.
