Meet Alejandra Jimenez Velasco—Therapist at Best Therapists

Alejandra Jimenez is a proud bilingual Licensed Latina Immigrant Therapist with over 10 years of experience treating diverse populations (children, families, adults) in a variety of mental health settings (group homes, rural areas, educational settings, in home behavioral services etc) in California. Alejandra obtained her Bachelors Degree in Criminology with a focus on Victims and a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy with a PPS credential. She is the founder and currently providing mental health therapy at Therapy con Ale. She believes in creating a therapeutic safe space that is culturally affirming. A space where you can be authentically YOU without fear of judgement. A space where you can be vulnerable and cry if you need to or perhaps learn that it is okay to cry, to feel and express yourself. You deserves to slow down, prioritize yourself and heal. In therapy you can be you, rebuild and grow. This is your time! You are taking the first step by seeking therapy. Therapy will be done in your preferred language; Spanish, English or both and in person or virtually. As a proud immigrant, first generation to attend college, to become a resident then citizen and licensed therapist she is extremely passionate about normalizing mental health in the Latinx community and educating on how childhood trauma and attachment affects us as adults.

Do you feel like you have to be strong all the time? You feel stuck. You can’t sleep. You feel your heart racing. You’re someone who is driven, kind and generous, but still find yourself struggling with healthy boundaries , feeling like you always put others needs above your own, and forget about yourself. You find you are having doubts about your abilities. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to step out of your comfort zone. You’re ready to set healthy boundaries with others and yourself. Most of all, you’re ready to prioritize yourself and regain your confidence. And even if you are a little afraid of vulnerability, you are ready to go there scared anyway. I want to help you get there. Here, you can show up as your raw, vulnerable, & authentic self. With time you will feel confident being that true self outside of therapy with new skills. You’re the expert in your life, and I’m here to guide you, help you create change, growth, and a more fulfilling life. Reach out to schedule a free 15 minute consult today!
