Finding Calm Within.

Therapy for Anxiety & Panic

Catherine Alvarado Therapy + EMDR is a holistic psychotherapy practice in Redondo Beach offering anxiety therapy that honors your whole nervous system. Anxiety can show up in many ways, including chronic worry, panic attacks, intrusive thoughts, social anxiety, perfectionism, health anxiety, and patterns of overthinking or avoidance, often leaving people feeling disconnected from themselves both physically and emotionally.

We offer holistic, integrative therapy rooted in deeper healing.

  • EMDR therapy, intensive EMDR, and adjunct EMDR for deeper trauma processing and nervous system healing.

  • Integrating somatic, experiential, and body-based approaches such as Somatic Experiencing, Gestalt therapy, and IFS/parts work.

  • Drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and relational approaches to support deeper emotional understanding and reflection.

  • Exploring personal narratives, identity, and meaning-making through collaborative and narrative-based work.
