About me

Hello, my name is Alma Tejeda. I am a psychotherapist and a proud Latina. Born and raised in Southern California, I am bilingual (Spanish/English) and a first-generation college graduate.

I obtained my degree in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I pursued my Masters degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Pacific Oaks College, specializing in Latinx Family Systems. With over 8 years of experience in community mental health and private practice.

Beyond my professional role, I’m a mother, wife, and caregiver to aging parents. I consider myself a lifelong learner of both spiritual and personal growth. I cherish time with my family, and I’ve also learned the value of time with myself—embracing self-care as an ongoing journey. These experiences shape not only who I am but also the way I show up for my clients, with understanding and genuine care.

Who I Work with

Im dedicated to helping individuals and families create balance, resilience, and meaningful connections. My work is rooted in compassion, authenticity, and a belief that healing happens in safe, supportive spaces.🌱

I work with Latina women in their 30s and 40s who may be:

  • Balancing multiple roles (career, motherhood, caregiving)

  • Navigating life transitions (moving out, having children, changing jobs, or experiencing loss)

  • Coping with stress, anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem

  • Carrying the impact of past trauma and wanting to break cycles
