Relational & Depth-Oriented Therapy in SLO County

I’m Alexandra Seastrunk, a licensed therapist in the Village of Arroyo Grande in San Luis Obispo County. I support adults who are living with chronic anxiety, long-held grief, and a sense of being “not enough.”

You might find yourself stuck in self-defeating patterns of worry, or perhaps you are carrying an emotional heaviness that is difficult to put into words. In my experience, these things are often intertwined; anxiety and self-criticism frequently act as a mask for the grief of past losses or traumas that haven’t been fully processed. Therapy offers a place to slow down and begin the work of untangling these emotions within the safety of a trusted relationship.

I often work with sensitive, self-aware individuals who have spent a lot of time trying to figure out why they feel the way they do. I value that curiosity; understanding is a powerful tool for change. However, I also know how frustrating it is when that intellectual insight doesn’t quite reach the heart of the pain. My goal is to help you use your natural curiosity to go deeper, moving from just knowing your story to actually feeling a sense of relief and change.

What to Expect

I believe that insight and living are inseparable. The past is actively alive in the present moment, dictating the scripts we follow and the ways we see ourselves. Our work is a partnership, where I bring a keen intuition and a genuine human presence. Together, we can tend to your story while honoring the parts of you that have worked so hard to keep yourself safe.

This process helps you develop a sense of internal gravity—of feeling of being more grounded and “at home” within yourself. When you respond to your life from this place, you move with more confidence and a greater capacity for genuine peace.

Beginning Therapy

Starting therapy is a meaningful step. If this approach resonates with you, I offer a free 20-minute consultation. This is a low-pressure way to connect so I can hear more about your needs, answer any questions, and so you can get a sense of how it might feel to sit together.
