Guadalupe Garfias, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Guadalupe!

I’m thrilled that you’re considering working with me on your journey to healing and self-discovery. Below is some information to help you decide if we’re a great fit. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.

My focus

Whether you're dealing with trauma, relationship dynamics, coming out, identity exploration, or feelings of shame, guilt, depression, anxiety, or substance use, I'm here to support you. Let's work together to navigate these challenges and celebrate your authentic self.

My approach

I believe in a trauma-informed care model that embraces mindfulness and whole-body healing. My toolbox includes techniques from Internal Family Systems Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Seeking Safety, and Mindfulness Stress Reduction, all tailored to meet your unique needs.

My communication style

I strive to foster a warm, calming atmosphere where collaboration is key. I believe everyone has inner wisdom, and my role is to help you access and amplify that strength. Your voice matters, and I'm here to listen.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to mental healthcare is rooted in spirituality and a passion for alternative healing modalities like Kundalini Yoga and Breathwork. Social justice and a commitment to empowering others are at the heart of my practice.

My goals for you

In our work together, you'll set the pace and define your goals. I'll provide guidance, challenges, and support, celebrating your progress as you gain confidence, clarify your feelings and thoughts, heal from past traumas, and embrace positive change.

Our first session

We'll start with a warm introduction, explore what therapy looks like with me, and set some initial goals together. I aim to create a comfortable space where you feel empowered to share and grow.
