Great to meet you!

Hello! My name is Michelle Garza-Rodriguez, LCSW. If you are reading this, you may be at a point in your life where you are overwhelmed, struggling with past or current difficulties or symptoms, or just need someone to listen. I have close to 20 years of experience in mental health treatment, which has allowed me to meet my clients where they are at, use evidence based practice to diagnose, treat and assist in improving many patients' lives. If you are struggling with anxiety, anger, trauma, mood disorders, or life challenges, don't struggle alone. Set up an appointment and we can begin the process to help you feeling better. If you are in the process of making sure we make a good fit, we can meet for an assessment and discuss your needs. I provide sessions in both English and Spanish. At the end of the day, I want you to feel you have a good match with your therapist. I look forward to meeting with you, and working together on your treatment goals.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm and collaborative. Clients benefIt from my balance of a nurturing, yet challenging style.I am affirming to my clients and value the importance of providing education and the science behind symptoms. This knowledge supports clients in developing insight and heal. Sessions are geared towards helping clients achieve peace, joy and stability with improvement in managing symptoms.

What you can expect from me

In the first session we will discuss what currently brings you to therapy. We will start the assessment process and together discuss a plan for your trreatment to assist you on your path to healing.
