Catherine Alvarado, LMFT & Associates


Our practice offers holistic psychotherapy for clients across Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Palos Verdes, and surrounding South Bay communities.

We support adolescents, adults, couples, and families with care that blends traditional and integrative approaches. Services include:

Specialized Support

Our team helps clients navigate anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship challenges with care that supports both mind and body. We use approaches such as EMDR therapy, somatic practices, and trauma-informed psychotherapy to create space for meaningful healing and growth.

We welcome clients who are highly sensitive and deeply feeling, those who are self-aware but feeling stuck, and EMDR clinicians seeking their own space for renewal. Many clients come to us after feeling like traditional approaches haven’t fully addressed their needs, and together we work to find new ways forward.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, which is why each client receives care that reflects their unique story and goals. No matter the starting point, our Redondo Beach therapists provide tools for resilience, balance, and lasting change—always tailored to support each step of the journey.
