About America Alaniz, LMFT

Semillas Individual and Couples Therapy is a trauma-informed group practice rooted in growth, healing, and connection. “Semillas,” meaning seeds in Spanish, reflects our belief that meaningful change begins when people are nurtured in a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment.

We specialize in individual therapy, couples therapy, and relationship-focused work, drawing from psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, and emotionally focused approaches. Our clinicians are deeply committed to helping clients explore patterns, heal relational wounds, regulate the nervous system, and build healthier connections with themselves and others.

Our team works with adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and stress related to work, family, or cultural expectations. We value therapy that is collaborative, culturally responsive, and paced to each client’s needs.

At Semillas, we honor the complexity of each person’s story and recognize the impact of culture, family systems, and lived experiences on emotional well-being. We strive to create a space where clients feel seen, grounded, and empowered to grow — one seed at a time.

We offer both in-person services in the Montebello / East Los Angeles area and telehealth sessions throughout California.
