Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Andrea Murgado, a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with seven years of experience helping children, families, and adults navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in trauma, parenting, anxiety, and depression, using approaches like EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy. With a deep understanding of infant and early childhood mental health. My style is warm, relatable, and culturally sensitive. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can be your true self. If you're ready to start your healing journey, I’d love to help!

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and culturally responsive. I believe healing happens in a space where you feel safe, seen, and valued, so I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Drawing from evidence-based modalities like EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Attachment-Based Family Therapy, I help clients process past experiences, build resilience, and develop meaningful coping strategies. Whether you're navigating trauma, anxiety, parenting, or personal growth, I meet you where you are with warmth, curiosity, and a nonjudgmental stance. Therapy with me is not just about overcoming challenges, it's also about discovering your strengths and stepping into the best version of yourself.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to feel heard, understood, and empowered after sessions with me. My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and tailored to your unique needs. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, parenting challenges, or personal growth, I provide a safe space for self-discovery and healing. Together, we’ll build emotional resilience, develop practical coping skills, and explore patterns that may be holding you back all while honoring your lived experiences and strengths. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling supported, with a deeper sense of clarity and confidence in your journey.
