About America Alaniz, LMFT

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

We provide individual, couples, and family therapy using evidence-informed approaches, including psychodynamic, attachment-based, somatic, emotionally focused, and trauma-informed care. Our clinicians are committed to helping clients understand longstanding patterns, heal relational wounds, strengthen emotional regulation, and cultivate healthier, more secure relationships.

Our team supports adolescents, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship difficulties, identity exploration, parenting challenges, and stress related to work, family, or cultural experiences. We believe therapy should be collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to each person’s unique goals and pace.

At Semillas, we recognize that every person’s story is shaped by their relationships, culture, family system, and lived experiences. We strive to create a space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered as they move toward greater healing, resilience, and connection.

We proudly offer in-person therapy in Montebello and the East Los Angeles area, as well as secure telehealth services for clients throughout California.
