Welcome to My Therapy Practice.
My name is Alexandra Seastrunk. I’m a Licensed Marriage Therapist based in Arroyo Grande, CA, offering individual therapy both in-person and virtually.
I have extensive experience working with adults with diverse mental health concerns. My areas of focus include supporting individuals who are struggling with anxiety and depression, self-esteem or self-worth issues, and grief and loss.
You may be seeking help because you are consumed by worry or self-doubt, constantly comparing yourself to others, or feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of adulthood. You may have experienced a death or another form of heartbreak, and are struggling to cope with the complex emotions brought on by the grief process. Whatever you are facing, therapy offers a space for clarity and understanding that will support you in finding more compassionate and adaptive ways of relating to yourself and others.
I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am dedicated to providing a safe, respectful space for everyone, regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, or any other aspect of identity.
Taking the step to seek help is an important one. I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to discuss your needs and ensure I’m the right fit for you. I look forward to connecting with you.
Get to Know Me
I’m a Licensed Marriage Therapist with nine years of experience, working with individuals facing challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and substance use. My background includes roles as a drug and alcohol counselor, grief therapist, and college mental health counselor, alongside private practice.
My therapeutic approach blends depth psychology with person-centered techniques, fostering an environment for insight and growth. I view myself as a witness, and a compassion guide for my clients on their personal healing journeys. I do not pretend to know what is best for every person, but I will hold space for your unique experience and support you in finding your own answers.
I was drawn to my work as a therapist by my own transformational experiences as a client. Having been through the process, I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes. Therapy has helped me to better understand myself and cope more effectively with the ups and downs of life. My ultimate hope, as a therapist, is to support my clients in discovering their own inner resources and strengths.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy drinking coffee, reading, watching movies, and spending time by the ocean. I am an introvert and an animal-lover, with a deep appreciation for nature and good conversation.
