Relationship and Sex Therapy in California

My name is Adriana Guarderas (you can call me Adri), and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I graduated from Phillips Graduate Institute with my master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. Additionally, I’m working on a Sex Therapy certification through the Sexual Health Alliance.

I specialize in helping adults and couples. I have training in treating people who have experienced intimate partner violence. I also have training in assisting consensual non-monogamy (CNM) and kink-practicing clients. Please check out my About Me page if you’d like to learn more about my qualifications and story.

ABOUT ADRI

I love helping people become who they want to be and who they are, and I work to create a relaxed and safe container. I’m an intuitive and empathetic listener and fierce accountability partner. I’m adept at recognizing unique gifts in people and take a strengths-based approach to therapy (get ready to hear about some great things about you!). I take an eclectic approach to therapy, combining post-modern approaches, such as narrative and solution-focused brief therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and existential and person-centered therapy. Additionally, I am culturally sensitive and sex-positive, as well as LGBTQIA+, consensual non-monogamy (CNM), and kink-affirming.
