02 · In Alondra's own words

What Alondra says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

Life gets hard, challenging, and overwhelming. For that reason, having someone that provides a safe, nonjudgmental space that embraces all of who we are can help us heal. I am here to help! As a therapist, I can help guide and stand by your side through your healing process. I am a bilingual and bicultural (Spanish-English) Latina therapist that understands the importance of feeling heard, understood, and welcomed in a therapeutic space that embraces diversity. Whether you are looking for extra support or guidance, I look forward to us establishing a collaborative relationship! I incorporate a variety of theoretical approaches including trauma informed technqiues, CBT, DBT, ACT, and others depending on my client's needs. I am trained EMDR as well as brain spotting which is an intensive trauma processing treatment. I am also certified in Domestic Violence training to assist domestic violence survivors. It would be an honor to hear your story and help you through your healing journey. I look forward to hearing from you.

03 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Alondra practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Alondra's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Alondra at this point.

2. Naming Alondra specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Alondra is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Alondra.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

04 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Alondra

Built from what Alondra actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Alondra's - Alondra has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

• “You offer sessions in English and Spanish. Does the work change depending on which we use?”

  People often reach different material in a first language than in a second. Worth naming before you choose.

06 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Alondra's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 7 Oct 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Alondra. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
