LMFT, 18 years of experience
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.
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.
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.
Most of the clients I have worked with have struggled with depression, anxiety, family problems, life transitions, low self-esteem, relationship problems, abusive relationships, pornography addiction, and many more.

What brought me to this therapist the fact that she’s bilingual. I am able to express myself in both English and Spanish. I have always felt respected and welcomed by her. Her expertise and warmness has taught me how to navigate life in ways I never thought I could.
