About Alexandra
Alexandra De Castro Basto is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. She brings 18 years of professional experience and aims to create a respectful, kind space for honest conversation. Alexandra encourages people who are nervous about beginning therapy and acknowledges that taking the first step takes courage.
She focuses on practical, person-centered work. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs and goals rather than following a rigid script. Alexandra talks through relationship strains, family conflict, issues with self-esteem, and challenges related to bipolar disorder in straightforward terms. She also addresses isolation, guilt, and struggles with self-love.
Alexandra adapts her approach as she learns about a person's history and current pressures. She listens for patterns coming from family of origin, codependency, or attachment wounds and helps people notice how those patterns affect daily life. Conversations tend to center on clearer communication, healthier boundaries, and steps that build confidence over time.
Her practice welcomes people who want a direct, compassionate therapist who will tailor conversations and goals to what matters most. Sessions are offered in English and Swedish, and she works within California practice guidelines. If you are ready to begin, the next step is a short matching questionnaire and scheduling through the Start Therapy flow.
