Alyssa Vida , LMFT

Alyssa Vida is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 96704) who brings a collaborative, strengths-based approach to counseling. She views clients as the experts on their own lives and works alongside them to set the agenda for each session, identifying barriers to goals and developing practical, attainable solutions. Alyssa most often practices from a client-centered framework and integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused work, and family systems to tailor treatment to each person or family.

Her clinical training includes a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and a special certification in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) - a focused method for working with trauma-related symptoms. As an LMFT, she is trained to support individuals, couples, families, and children, helping them build insight, identify unhelpful thinking or behavior patterns, and learn coping skills to manage stressors as they arise.

Alyssa’s experience spans community mental health, private practice, school-based settings, and work with military populations. Her goal in each session is for clients to leave feeling more capable, confident, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. She emphasizes goal-setting, skill building, and noticing personal strengths as part of a practical path toward growth.

Passionate about self-advocacy, resiliency, and increased self-awareness, Alyssa supports clients in problem solving and personal development while helping them discover solutions that fit their unique circumstances.
