MIND + BODY HEALING


Honoring your whole nervous system.

Catherine Alvarado Therapy + EMDR is a holistic psychotherapy practice in Redondo Beach offering couples and family therapy that honors the whole person and the relationships that shape us. Our therapists provide warm, collaborative care rooted in creating a space where couples and families can slow down, process deeply, improve communication, and reconnect with one another emotionally.

We believe healing happens not only through insight, but through feeling safe enough to explore relational patterns, process unresolved experiences, and build more grounded and connected relationships with yourself and others. Each therapist brings their own style and specialties while sharing a depth-oriented approach that values authenticity, compassion, emotional attunement, and meaningful relational healing.

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.
