Alene McDowell-IbanezMarriage & Family Therapist, LMFT

About

I am owner of McDowell-Ibanez Counseling Services with over 15 years experience. As a therapist, I am committed to providing a compassionate, client-centered, goal directed approach to therapy. I help individuals, couples, and families break through patterns that leave them feeling stuck. I specialize in couples counseling, family conflict, and working with individuals who struggle with self-worth, emotional reactivity, and fear of abandonment. My goal is to help you build on your strengths, develop coping strategies, heal and foster change.Clients often report leaving sessions feeling clearer, more grounded, and better equipped. Clients who work with me often come in feeling emotionally exhausted, overwhelemd or unsure of how to fix what's not working. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what's happening beneath the surface, and build skills for healthier communication, stronger boundaries, and greater emotional clarity.
