Meet Denise

Hi, I’m Denise Alba— a holistic psychotherapist, coach, yoga educator, speaker, and founder of BRAVE Wellness Studio. As a daughter of Mexican immigrants and a native San Diegan, my personal healing journey led me to the powerful intersection of psychotherapy and yoga— and now I help others find their own path to wellness and wholeness.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, a RYT‑500 yoga educator, and a Certified Integrative Medicine Mental Health Professional (CIMHP). My work blends traditional talk therapy with somatic practices, mindfulness, and integrative healing approaches.

At BRAVE, I offer therapy, coaching, yoga, workshops, retreats, and professional trainings — all designed to support mental, emotional, and embodied wellness. My approach is real, grounded, and courageous. I believe healing is possible, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you rewrite your story and step into a fuller, more empowered version of yourself.

I work with women who are…

• Anxious

• Ready to re write their story

• Interested in leaving their corporate job

• or Seeking professional supervision (CA Board of Behavioral Services)
