Alejandra Ceja, Ph.D.

Welcome. I am glad that you have come to my page. Whether you are in search of personal growth or other improvements we can find ways to accept, improve, or soften your circumstances.
 
I am a therapist that provides a full range of therapy services in both English and Spanish. I gladly welcome people from all walks of life, ethnicities, and economic backgrounds. I also have experience working with individuals, groups, and couples with a wide range of issues.  I am always learning as each person I work with brings their own set of challenges.

I use a blend of culturally adaptable evidenced-based strategies. These include cognitive behavioral methods, insight-oriented therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, and mindfulness interventions. My approach to therapy is engaging and collaborative. I aim to cultivate an authentic and non-judgmental space that facilitates your ability to grow and move toward improving your quality of life and level of functioning. I will meet you where you are emotionally and help you identify where you would like to be. For some people, treatment itself might focus on insight-oriented work, changing unhealthy thought patterns, building coping skills, or something totally unique to you.

I received both my M.A. and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University, Los Angeles, a program fully accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). I completed a rigorous predoctoral internship and postdoctoral fellowship program (APA accredited) with an emphasis in post-traumatic stress disorders at San Francisco VA Health Care System/ University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology from California State University, Dominguez Hills. I have extensive experience in psychological and neuropsychological assessment and research. I am also an adjunct faculty member in the department of psychology at Fullerton College.
