Professional statement

Sofia Alonso, LMFT, APCC, is a licensed therapist with a private practice in Orange County, California, and a professor in the Master’s program at Pepperdine University.


Message to clients

My name is Sofia Alonso, LMFT, APCC, and I understand how important it is to feel supported during difficult or uncertain times. Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported from the very first session.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, and I have experience supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and cultures. I take a compassionate and collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring our work to your unique needs and goals. Therapy is not about having all the answers—it’s about gaining insight, developing coping tools, and creating meaningful change at your own pace.

I truly love being a therapist and feel honored to walk alongside clients through both life’s challenges and moments of growth. I draw from multiple therapeutic approaches so we can find what feels most helpful and aligned for you.

As a bilingual therapist, I offer sessions in English and Spanish, allowing you to express yourself in the language that feels most natural. I am trained in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) to support stronger parent-child relationships, as well as EMDR therapy, which can help process trauma and distressing experiences in a supportive environment.

In our work together, you can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space focused on your goals, growth, and well-being. Your journey matters, and I would be honored to support you.
