Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Micaela Garofalo and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who struggle with interpersonal problems, family conflict, anxiety/depression, ADHD, thinking and personality disorders. I help by giving my clients a safe space in which to learn about themselves and formulate solutions that work for them.

My practice is unique because it is both trauma and social-justice informed. I have lived in other countries and speak other languages. This contributes to my understanding of diverse populations and my ability to respond empathically to human suffering. I am passionate about this work because my training in psychological assessment and evaluation combined with training in family systems and intervention has given me a broader perspective on the nuances of the human experience.

In our first few sessions, you can expect to experience immediate relief of some of your symptoms as we work together to find solutions to the problems that have disrupted your life. After that, the more you're open to trying new techniques and interventions, the more you will gain from therapy.
