Great to meet you!

Hi!! I’m Carol Guardado, a Licensed Clinician 8 years of experience working with moms. I specialize in supporting women through the tough stuff—whether it’s postpartum depression, anxiety, grief, or the emotional challenges that come with motherhood. I know how overwhelming it can feel, and I’m here to help you navigate those ups and downs, find your balance, and feel more like yourself again.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I am well versed in different theoretical approaches but primarily focus on utilizing the following Evidence-based practices in my individual work on a case-by-case basis: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Managing and Adapting Practice (MAP), and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).

What you can expect from our first session

I work alongside individuals to develop collaborative goals for treatment. Throughout sessions, my patients provide feedback that guides treatment decisions from the initial intake to our last session.

Carol's style is

Holistic
Solution-oriented
Empowering
