About Alexandra
Alexandra Matustik is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in California who helps people through hard moments in life. She focuses on relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Alexandra aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can feel heard and begin to heal.
She guides clients through grief, abandonment wounds, and attachment-related hurt. Alexandra also supports people coping with panic and post-traumatic stress.
How Alexandra works
She helps those wrestling with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and patterns that come from family of origin issues. Many people seek her help around caregiving stress, feeling isolated, or looking for clearer life purpose. She works with men on issues specific to their experience and with people facing hospice or end-of-life questions.
Alexandra also provides support related to pregnancy, childbirth, and women’s health concerns. Her style emphasizes self-compassion and clearer communication. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage anxiety, improve relationships, and build resilience.
She partners with clients to notice what helps and to try small changes that fit daily life. Alexandra brings six years of clinical experience to her work and holds the LMFT credential. People who want a thoughtful, down-to-earth therapist often choose her to explore both recent problems and long-standing patterns.

Evidence-based techniques and online therapy options
Alexandra uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process trauma and improve relationships. One strand of her work focuses on trauma recovery, which involves grounding strategies, paced processing of difficult memories, and building skills to manage panic and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Another common focus is on attachment and abandonment wounds, helping clients notice patterns in relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and clearer.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alexandra will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the approach over time. She prioritizes what feels useful in day-to-day life and checks in regularly to make changes together.
Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let someone choose an approach that matches their energy that day, such as focusing on grounding skills when anxiety is high or doing deeper processing when they feel ready.
