I know from experience that looking for a therapist could be stressful. If you are here then you are on the right path and I am here to walk it with you. My name is Marypaz Garrdea. I am a bilingual, Spanish and English, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I am also a clinical psychologist from Mexico City with more than 15 years of experience. My passion is to provide psychotherapy to adolescents, adults, and families in a compassionate environment full of support and understanding. At the same time, giving you the tools to grow and achieve your goals in life. “Because life is not what it’s supposed to be. It is what it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference” Virginia Satir.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I offer my clients a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental space. I am a caring and kind person who will help you build a new journey of healing, learn to love yourself, and give you a sense of peace in your soul. I will give you hope from the first session.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I provide psychotherapy to families, adolescents, and adults. The common theoretical approach that I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Therapy, Culture Sensitive, and Integrative Therapy in a mindful setting. I believe effective goal setting needs to be realistic and achievable for clients; therefore, I always suggest starting with baby steps to ensure they are comfortable.
