About Itzel Velasco

Itzel Velasco is a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who brings a warm, empathetic approach to working with family systems as well as adolescent and adult clients. She prioritizes creating a hopeful therapeutic environment, viewing the restoration of hope as a central part of the healing process.

Her practice is informed by a background in Child and Family development, which shapes an emphasis on how early childhood experiences influence functioning in adulthood. That foundation leads her to explore attachment styles and the ways past relationships continue to affect current patterns within families and intimate connections.

Fluent in both English and Spanish, Itzel aims to meet clients where they are by combining compassion with a focus on relational dynamics and practical pathways toward change. LMFT stands for Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a credential that indicates specialized training in relationship-focused and family systems work.
