Kelly Rose Garza, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kelly Rose!

I'm here to help clients explore anxiety, inner criticism, and life transitions with openness and empathy. Together, we'll cultivate a deeper sense of confidence, clarity, and connection to your path forward.

My focus

I work with youth and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, and feelings of uncertainty- helping them build emotional resilience, strengthen self-worth, and move toward a more empowered future.

My approach

I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused approaches to help clients shift negative thought patterns, let go of past obstacles, and build practical, forward-moving strategies. I also incorporate mindfulness and visualization practices to deepen self-awareness and envision meaningful possibilities.

My communication style

My communication style is open, curious, and nonjudgmental. I use a clear and direct approach that fosters trust, safety, and meaningful dialogue. I aim to create a space where clients feel seen, heard, and respected.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to social work and therapy by a passion for human connection and empowering people from all walks of life with the skills and support they need to thrive. Working with young immigrants for several years revealed the profound resilience of the human spirit and the transformative impact a compassionate, supportive presence can have.

My goals for you

I collaborate with clients to co-create meaningful treatment goals that are realistic and attainable. I'm responsive to each client's evolving needs, recognizing that goals may shift over time as deeper understanding and new challenges emerge.

Our first session

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other, begin building trust, and create meaningful treatment goals. Growth takes time, but I'm here to guide and support you throughout the process.
