Psychologist

Are you anxious, troubled, stuck, weighed down? I believe that you have the inner strength and power to live your best life. But it is hard to be hopeful when you feel trapped by old patterns. That’s where our work together begins. I believe that therapy is a collaborative and creative process. My goal is to help you feel better in the present, while finding deeper insight and lasting change for the future. My style is warm, supportive, interactive, and sometimes humorous. I will adapt our work to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe that the relationship we build in therapy is the foundation for healing and change.

Therapist

The world of therapy is truly so special and important. I am honored to hold each one of your stories and become a small part of your healing journey. My journey of healing started maybe similar to some of you. The more I healed the more I realized how vital a safe, warm, and caring approach made all the difference. I aim to create a space with you that will lead to new growth and perspectives.

I have 6 years of experience treating at risk kids, teens, families, and adults in other therapeutic capacities. I'm trained in Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR Therapy. I utilize an attachment & trauma lens to help kiddos and families. I also use those modalities as well as to help you uncover and resolve those deeper wounds that are connected to how we live life in the present. I also engage in using other evidenced-based practices to help reduce the symptoms that are keeping you from who you want to be.

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.

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.

Therapist

Virtual • California


You often feel misunderstood or have been told you're "too much," and deep down, you long to be truly seen and known. Family and societal systems may have taught you to shrink yourself to fit in or please others, making you highly skilled at masking your true self. You're intuitive, creative, and carry a rich inner world. Still, it can feel like you weren’t dealt the best hand in life, leaving you stuck, wondering if anyone else could ever truly relate. After spending so long prioritizing others’ needs, you're finally ready to cultivate a vibrant, purposeful life that’s fully your own.
