Alena Woods, AMFT

Therapy is a place where you can come as you are, feel heard, and set down
what you've been carrying alone. I work with individuals, couples, and families who want a
space to feel safe, understood, and supported.

I specialize in women’s mental health, including postpartum experiences and infertility—both of
which can feel isolating and outside of your control. I also work with individuals and families
navigating anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and chronic illness. With couples, I meet you
where you are. Whether you’re feeling distant, misunderstood, or stuck in the same patterns,
we’ll move at a pace that feels right for both of you.

My approach is attachment-based and emotion-focused, drawing from narrative, experiential,
and systemic work. Rather than focusing on surface-level change, I help you understand the
deeper patterns shaping your emotions and relationships, so real, lasting shifts can happen.

Outside of the therapy room, I love spending time with my husband and our cats. I’m happiest
near the ocean, taking trips to Disneyland, or skiing in the winter. anything that brings a sense of
joy, calm, and connection.

At the heart of my work is creating a space where you feel safe, understood, and not alone in
what you’re carrying. Reaching out can be hard, but you don’t have to navigate it alone.
