Magaly Granados
Welcome, I am so glad you are here! Taking the first step toward therapy requires immense courage, and I want you to know right from the start that you are in the right place, and you do not have to go through this alone. As a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California, I bring over 10 years of heartfelt experience across a variety of settings. I earned my Master’s Degree from California State University, Fullerton, and have had the absolute privilege of walking alongside people of all ages and walks of life. Over the last decade, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety and depression, the deep pain of loss and grief, the uncertainty of major life transitions, and the heavy exhaustion of burnout. I also work closely with those untangling the complexities of past trauma, navigating relationship dynamics, and quieting the critical inner voice to build genuine self-esteem. Whatever challenges you are facing, we will work hand-in-hand to help you find clarity, reclaim your story, and discover your inner strength.
I know the courage it takes to seek help and I want you to know that you are in the right place and you do not need to go through it alone.
I want this to be a safe space where you unpack your story whenever you're ready. Your cultural background, social justice concerns, and the unique history that shapes who you are matters in this journey. I also warmly welcome the integration of spirituality and faith for anyone who wishes to weave those meaningful pieces into their healing journey. You get to show up exactly as you are today, knowing that all of you is safe and welcome. If you feel ready to take that next step, I invite you to schedule a session.
First session
During our first session together, we will start by introducing ourselves and I will discuss confidentiality, risks and benefits of treatment, roles and expectations and what to expects in therapy. I know it can be a nervous start, but I will reassure you that this is a safe place and I am here for you. I create a welcoming environment to go at your own pace and show sensitivity to your needs. My goal is to get to know you, and hear what is bringing you to therapy. The first session is also an opportunity for you to get a sense of who I am and how I can help you. I welcome questions about my approach, the therapy process, or anything else that will help you feel more comfortable. I am dedicated to providing a safe, warm, and deeply non-judgmental environment that is tailored entirely to your personal goals and needs.
Strengths
As a provider I find that my greatest strength is being able to create a safe, non-judgemental, honest and caring environment together. I approach our time in a caring and professional way knowing that coming to therapy is a brave step. I will also use our therapeutic alliance as a way to have a true experiential opportunity to be able to pull out your inner strengths and find different ways to navigate the difficulties being faced. I am highly able to adapt and use different therapy models to address each unique person that I am allowed the priviledge to work with.
Ideal clients
I have a passion to serve those in need with experience helping many from various different backgrounds regardless of the situation. I have been able to see growth first hand and see positive change for those who are ready to embark in the journey together. I am a huge believer that "Every small change makes a difference!" You are not alone and I make it a goal to help you feel safe, heard, and shine the resiliency you have within you.
Treatment methods
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
I believe that being culturally sensitive is important and I use it in sessions to help facilitate healing by bringing in different elements that makes an individual.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have used CBT for several years and I have used it to help break down negative thinking thoughts and empower to shift thinking to a more positive one.
Psychodynamic
I have several years using psychodynamic and processing childhood experiences and help heal the inner child.
Eclectic
I have several years, being able to adapt and uniquely address everyone by tailoring to their needs and using the appropriate modality to help in their healing journey.
