Annette Alatorre – Pending LPC

Hi, I’m Annette, a mental health therapist passionate about helping teens, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. I work with clients as young as 13 through adulthood, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community, and specialize in supporting individuals who are working through past trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, or recovering from narcissistic abuse at any stage of the healing journey.

My clients often come to me feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of themselves. Some are healing from childhood trauma or painful family patterns, while others are coping with anxiety, depression, or identity struggles. Many are seeking a safe, supportive space to process their experiences, feel truly seen and heard, and begin to reconnect with who they are.

I believe that therapy should be a safe and comfortable space where you can show up exactly as you are. My mission is to meet you where you’re at—without judgment—and walk alongside you as you heal, grow, and begin to understand yourself more deeply. I don’t believe in pathologizing people or labelling their experiences. Instead, I see therapy as a collaborative process where we honor your reality and work together to create meaningful change.

My approach is both evidence-based and holistic, blending modalities like EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and IFS (Internal Family Systems) with the understanding that true healing involves the mind, body, and soul. At times, I incorporate somatic practices to help clients reconnect with their bodies and deepen self-awareness, fostering healing that goes beyond talk therapy alone.

My passion for this work comes from my own life experiences. Starting as a teen mom and navigating my own challenges, I developed a deep desire to help others who have faced trauma and hardships. I know what it means to fight for growth and healing, and I believe in walking alongside my clients as they break generational cycles, reclaim their power, and create meaningful changes in their lives.

“I pride myself in providing a safe and empowering space for growth, healing, and authentic connection.” – Annette Alatorre
