Great to meet you!

I believe that "one size does not fit all". That psychotherapy is a journey of many uncharted territories always ending in beautiful destinations, if we allow the process- even if it may be somewhat challenging or painful at times. I have learned this throughout, almost, three decades of work, research and studies with Children, Teenagers, Young Adults, Middle Age, Seniors, Individuals, Couples and Families that I have the Honor and Privilege to meet and work within my Specialties.

My approach to therapy

As a Mental Health Counselor, Mirza Lugardo, LADC-I, LMHC, CAGS performs assessments and diagnostics, psychotherapy, treatment planning, and crisis management. Mental Health Counseling is flexible, consumer-driven therapy that combines psychotherapy with practical, problem resolution strategies. Significant diseases and conditions treated by Mental Health Counselors include substance abuse, anger management, bullying, depression, anxiety, relationships, self-image, and LGBTQ issues.

What you can expect from me

Clients can expect to know from the initial session if we are able to connect and work together, if we are able to engage in a journey of discovery, growth and learning together in a non-judgemental, supportive, and safe place.
