About Soraya
Soraya Avalos is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 15 years of practice in California. She helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in mood, or unsure about their relationships and sense of purpose. Her approach aims to be respectful, sensitive, and practical so people can take steps they feel ready for.
She usually begins by listening to what matters most to each person. That conversation shapes a simple plan with clear goals. Sessions focus on skills you can use between meetings, along with ways to notice patterns that keep problems repeating.
Her work draws from approaches that help change unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, and build clearer communication. She adapts those methods to the pace and style each person prefers. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Soraya has supported people through life transitions like divorce, caregiving strain, pregnancy and childbirth, and grief. She also addresses attachment concerns, shame and guilt, impulsivity, and social anxiety. Her background includes helping with mood disorders and post-traumatic stress alongside everyday coping skills.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. If you want to explore whether she is a fit, start by filling out a short questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment. That first meeting helps decide goals and a workable plan.
