Krystelina Gonzalez

Krystelina Gonzalez

Therapist

Virtual & in-person

18077 US Highway 18, Apple Valley, CA

I'm Krystelina — a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latina therapist with 14 years of clinical experience and a doctorate in psychology. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and families across the Inland Empire, High Desert, and throughout California via telehealth. My clients tend to be people carrying more than they let on: adults managing anxiety or depression who've never had a space that felt truly their own, couples trying to rebuild trust and communication, families navigating cultural expectations and generational stress. If therapy has ever felt inaccessible, too clinical, or like it wasn't built for someone like you — I want to change that.

Elba Alvarado

Elba Alvarado

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m Elba Alvarado, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins in relationships — with ourselves, with others, and with the stories we carry. I hold space for people navigating the quiet weight of expectations, the complexity of identity, and the patterns that shape how we show up in the world.

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Vanguard University and my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Azusa Pacific University and I have been providing therapy since 2018.

Hello! I'm Kianni, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, serving clients all across California. Life is full of uncertainty, change, and challenges. Maybe you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out due to life stressors. Maybe you feel stuck or disconnected from in your relationships with others or yourself.

Aaron Diaz

Aaron Diaz

Therapist

Virtual • California


If anxiety, depression, or past trauma feels like a constant burden, you don’t have to carry it alone. I specialize in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) therapy as a powerful, evidence-based approach to help you move past what’s holding you back — whether that’s past trauma, addictive patterns, or persistent emotional pain.

I hold a Masters in Marriage and Family therapy ( LMFT), my Doctorate in Social Work and specialized training in EMDR. Over my 13 years in practice, I have supported clients across a range of mental health and addiction settings — outpatient clinics, private practice, intensive treatment programs, etc.

My work is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and empowerment. I deeply believe in your capacity to heal and grow — even when it may feel impossible now.
