About Me
My name is Alejandra Dancyger. I go by Allie and I am a California Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT #150594 (supervised by Kate M. Grogan LMFT #94190).
My interest in becoming a therapist came from a curiosity to understand authenticity, how we develop a sense of who we truly are, and how we reconnect with ourselves when we feel lost, unsure, or disconnected from our own needs.
I initially certified as a Co-Active Coach through the Co-Active Training Institute, where I supported individuals in gaining clarity, strengthening self-esteem, and navigating life transitions with greater intention.
Wanting to deepen my understanding of emotional patterns, relationships, and mental health, I did a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Southern California (USC).
Through my clinical training and experience, I have worked with adolescents, young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions.
I believe therapy can be a meaningful space to explore who you are beneath external expectations, strengthen self-trust, and feel more grounded in your decisions and relationships.
Therapy can be a powerful place to gain clarity, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with your most authentic self.
