About Alexandra
Alexandra De Castro Basto is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist with 18 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, mood disorders including bipolar disorder, and depression. She speaks English and Swedish and aims to meet each person with respect and compassion.
Her sessions begin with a conversation about what matters most to the client. She listens for specific patterns tied to family relationships, communication problems, or feelings of guilt and isolation. From there she works with each person to shape goals that feel realistic and meaningful.
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tackle concerns like attachment issues, codependency, and difficulties after divorce or separation. She helps people sort through family of origin problems and addiction-related challenges. The focus is on small, practical steps that build confidence and emotional steadiness.
She adapts the pace and style of sessions to suit individual needs, offering a straightforward and compassionate style rather than a one-size-fits-all program. People often come for help with communication skills, self-love, or moving forward from painful patterns.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on the therapist's availability. The subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, and pricing varies with location and therapist scheduling.
