ANDREA PERALES
Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, Supervised by Dr. Carrie Hastings, Psy.D, CMPC
Andrea is a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who walks alongside her clients as they seek personal growth and a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. She knows that life can bring seasons of stress, uncertainty, and change, and that sometimes it helps to have someone by your side to sort through the noise and focus on what really matters.
If you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating a big life transition, Andrea provides a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and supported. Her warm and approachable style makes it easy to open up, and her genuine care helps clients feel less alone in their struggles.
Andrea’s approach is flexible and tailored to each person she works with. Drawing from tools like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and person-centered practices, she shapes each session around your unique needs and goals and not a “one size fits all” model. This means you’ll have the space to explore at your own pace while also learning practical strategies you can use in everyday life.
Andrea helps her clients address the challenges they’re facing and also uncover deeper patterns that may be holding them back. Her goal is to empower you to make meaningful changes, build healthier relationships, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with who you truly are.
What clients often appreciate about Andrea is her ability to balance empathy with insight. She listens deeply, asks thoughtful questions, and creates a safe space for growth which encourages you to take steps forward. Andrea is committed to meeting you where you are and supporting you on the path ahead. She believes therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you uncover your strengths, understand your story, and build the life you want to live. Andrea works with Aetna insurance and she also works with Victims of Crime cases through CalVCB, ensuring greater access to care for those who need it.
