Micaela Magazzu-Alaman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I believe therapy works best when you can show up as a whole person, not a diagnosis or collection of symptoms. My style is warm, curious, collaborative, and down to earth. I value humor, honesty, compassion, and creating a space where you do not have to perform, have everything figured out, or leave important parts of yourself outside the therapy room.
I am especially drawn to working with people who think and feel deeply, experience anxiety or overwhelm, or are searching for a more sustainable way of moving through life. I want to understand what you are struggling with, but also who you are, what matters to you, what has shaped you, and what your mind and body may be communicating about what you need.
There is room in therapy for the personal and the political, for grief and anger, for relationships and identity, and for conversations about work, community, nature, oppressive systems, social conditions, and the world around us. My hope is to help you build a deeper relationship with yourself and create a life that feels more connected, intentional, and genuinely yours.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Have you ever felt like you were busy doing all the things you thought would bring you a happy life, yet felt alone and disconnected from yourself and others? These feelings are often when people turn to alcohol, drugs, food, shopping or relationships to try to create those feelings of happiness, contentment and joy. It can work for a short time however the key to moving forward is to understand the reasons we seek out these distractions. When we strengthen the relationship with ourselves, the outer world becomes much more balanced and fulfilling. In our work together, you’ll gain tools to care for your nervous system, set healthier boundaries, and create a more positive and sustainable way of living.

Visalia is the county seat of Tulare County in California's Central Valley, a region that is both one of the world's most productive agricultural areas and one of California's most underserved communities for mental health care, with a majority Latino population whose access to Spanish-language therapy is severely limited relative to need. The agricultural economy creates specific mental health challenges around seasonal employment, farmworker labor conditions, heat-related stress, and the immigration anxieties common across the San Joaquin Valley. Kaweah Health provides the primary hospital-based behavioral health services, and a private therapy sector serves the more affluent parts of the population. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, agricultural and economic stress, immigration and family separation trauma, and the significant barriers to care created by language access issues and a shortage of Spanish-speaking therapists in a region where the majority of residents speak Spanish at home.
