Holistic, Integrative Psychotherapy + EMDR
An Embodied Approach to Therapy
True healing happens when the whole self is welcomed.
There are seasons when something beneath the surface asks for care.
Therapy offers space to slow down, reflect, and gently make sense of what has been carried. We provide individual, couples, and family therapy for adults and teens navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relational challenges.
Our approach is thoughtful and collaborative, grounded in evidence-based care and guided by respect for each person’s pace and lived experience. Sessions are offered in Redondo Beach and online throughout California.

Hi, I’m Catherine Alvarado, LMFT
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant, and Clinical Supervisor in Redondo Beach.
I’m dedicated to attuned, thoughtful work with both clients and clinicians. I co-founded our home, Eunoia Wellness Studio, to create a space where patterns can shift and clarity can emerge in a supportive, grounded environment. My hope is to offer care that feels warm, steady, and genuinely helpful.

Get matched with the right therapist for you.
Finding the right therapist is an important part of the process, and therapy tends to be most effective when there is a strong sense of fit and comfort. After reaching out, we’ll take time to learn more about what you’re looking for and connect you with a therapist whose background, training, and approach align with your needs.
From there, you’ll have the option of a free phone consultation. This call is a chance to ask questions, get a feel for the therapist’s style, and explore whether it feels like a good match—without any pressure or obligation. If it feels right, next steps can be discussed together at a pace that feels comfortable.
