Alejandro Holguin, LCSW
About me
As a licensed therapist in California, I help individuals navigate life’s emotional challenges with compassion and clarity. My work focuses on supporting those experiencing stress, anxiety, and difficulties in relationships or personal growth. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and emotions that may be holding you back and build practical strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
I have extensive experience working with mood disorders, attachment concerns, panic attacks, and struggles related to self-worth, guilt, and shame. I also provide specialized support for fathers navigating the complexities of parenting, identity, and connection.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies and a deep respect for each client’s unique story. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and empowered to create lasting change. Therapy with me is collaborative, culturally responsive, and centered on helping you strengthen your relationship with yourself and others.
If you’re ready to begin your journey toward healing and emotional balance, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alejandro Holguin. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Working with Alejandro has been so helpful with the tools he has been teaching me in handling difficult situations. I appreciate his approach as it is not to change the external pressures but to be able to understand that it is external and use the tools to be at peace internally.
