INDIVIDUAL THERAPY FOR ADULTS


South Bay Therapy for Adults

Therapy for adults is available in Redondo Beach through Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates, supporting those who feel overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure of what’s next. Many adults seek therapy to navigate life transitions, burnout, perfectionism, or relationship struggles. Talking with a therapist can offer relief, perspective, and space to sort through what’s been building up. Over time, therapy can help reduce stress, strengthen self-trust, and support meaningful changes in everyday life.
