Welcome. I’m Karen, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I work with adults and adolescents who are navigating challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

My approach is collaborative and strengths-based. I support clients in developing healthy boundaries, strengthening communication skills, and identifying coping strategies that genuinely fit their lives. Together, we work toward healing, personal growth, and greater emotional balance.

I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you feel empowered to explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move through life’s challenges with confidence and intention.

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.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with over 10 years of experience in various mental health roles supporting teens, adults, and families through stress, life transitions, and emotional challenges. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative—therapy with me is not one-size-fits-all. I use a mix of approaches like CBT, trauma-focused care, DBT skills, mindfulness, solution-focused work, family systems, and humanistic therapy, tailoring sessions to what actually works for you. My goal is to help you feel understood, supported, and more confident navigating real-life challenges.

As a first-generation Latina, breaking generational stigma around mental health is deeply important to me. I’m passionate about providing culturally responsive care that honors identity, family values, and lived experience while creating safe space for healing and growth.

I came from Denmark to California for my own therapy and healing. After working for 20+ years as an educator and creating a family, I decided to pursue the road to become a therapist. I've worked with a diverse range of people, families, ages and challenges in humanistic, person centered, emotion focused schools, in psychodynamic community clinic, in substance use recovery center running groups and in a treatment center for clients suffering from eating disorders and co-existing conditions. Working in this field continues to give me an in depth understanding of the human soul and heart that I strive to use to help others heal.
