Alejandra Restrepo is a highly compassionate, effective, and insightful therapist. She applies her strong clinical skills to create a culturally informed practice. She observes from a trauma informed lens which leads to insightful questions and meaningful dialogue. Alejandra uses her years of experience and research to create as a safe space for clients in addition to providing resources to further build the client’s knowledge. She also uses her academic background to provide psychoeducation in a sensible and relevant manner, which empowers the client’s understanding of the therapeutic process. This level of tact, support, and safety is unique in this field of psychotherapy. Her approach creates a foundational level of trust that engages the client from the beginning. Alejandra also has incredibly perceptive bilingual skills which deepens the level of understanding in session. I highly recommend Alejandra Restrepo and Shaya Psychotherapy for professional services. Whether it is your first time in therapy or been through various seasons of therapy, you will indubitably learn something new about yourself through the services of Shaya Psychotherapy.

Working with Alejandra has truly been life-changing. When I first started, I carried a lot of unprocessed trauma that I didn’t fully understand. Through our sessions, she helped me connect the dots between my past and how it was affecting my life today. She didn’t just help me see those patterns - she gave me real tools to work with, to heal, and to grow. What I’m most grateful for is the change I see in myself. My mindset is so much more positive now, and even my friends have noticed. I feel lighter, more grounded, and better equipped to handle whatever life throws at me. I can now face challenges with clarity and confidence. The peace I’ve found through my work with Alejandra is the best part of all. I’m deeply thankful for this journey and for her guidance.

Others should know how safe of a place Shaya Therapy is. Throughout my journey here, Alejandra has been the most supportive and trustworthy person ever. Being a client here has brought me so much growth and comfort knowing that whatever I bring into a session will be met with cultural understanding, laughs, logic, and a new perspective.

I am deeply grateful for Alejandra. She is an open-minded and genuinely kind person. From our very first session, I felt respected, heard, and understood. Her approach and skill set even encouraged my mother to join a few sessions with me—and my mom loved her just as much as I do. Alejandra is accessible, caring, and highly knowledgeable, and she has truly been a blessing in my healing journey. What makes my experience even more meaningful is the strong connection she has with my psychiatrist, allowing me to feel supported by an amazing care team. This collaboration has helped me stay mostly consistent and engaged with my treatment plan. I always look forward to our sessions, and I would recommend her a 100x over!
