Somatic & Relational Counseling in La Habra, California - Healing with a First Generation Latina Therapist
Hola and welcome, My name is Alejandra Kenia Ipina, but you can call me Kenia. I'm a first‑generation Latina therapist raised by a resilient single mother. Growing up, I witnessed both the beauty and the strain that unspoken pain can place on a family. Those early lessons ignited my lifelong devotion to safeguarding family bonds and championing each person's right to thrive.
​
I know how heavy it can feel to carry anxiety, loneliness, or the fear of not being "enough." I also know how liberating it is to be met with warmth, understanding, and practical tools that translate hope into action. My own journey from surviving to flourishing informs every session we share: if healing was possible for me, it is possible for you.

How my story serves your healing
-
Empathy rooted in lived experience — when you sit with me, you sit with someone who has walked through cultural expectations, intergenerational wounds, and the tender work of reclaiming her voice.
-
A commitment to breaking cycles — together we loosen the grip of patterns that no longer serve you, so that future generations inherit lightness instead of baggage.
-
A belief in embodied wisdom — our work integrates mind, body, and spirit, honoring the messages your nervous system has been holding for you.
My Therapeutic Style
My approach is eclectic, deeply relational, and somatic. We will explore the beliefs that shape your inner narrative, while gently inviting your body to release the emotions it has been storing. When it feels right for you, we may also nurture your inner child—offering the younger parts of you the safety, guidance, and compassion they deserved all along.
​
We will move at a pace that respects your boundaries, weaving in practical skills so you can meet life’s challenges with steadiness and self‑trust.
