Therapist

Virtual • California


Hello! My name is Michelle Garza-Rodriguez, LCSW. If you are reading this, you may be at a point in your life where you are overwhelmed, struggling with past or current difficulties or symptoms, or just need someone to listen. I have close to 20 years of experience in mental health treatment, which has allowed me to meet my clients where they are at, use evidence based practice to diagnose, treat and assist in improving many patients' lives. If you are struggling with anxiety, anger, trauma, mood disorders, or life challenges, don't struggle alone. Set up an appointment and we can begin the process to help you feeling better. If you are in the process of making sure we make a good fit, we can meet for an assessment and discuss your needs. I provide sessions in both English and Spanish. At the end of the day, I want you to feel you have a good match with your therapist. I look forward to meeting with you, and working together on your treatment goals.

Janine Morris

Janine Morris

Therapist

Virtual • California


I’m a somatic, trauma-informed therapist based in Sebastopol, California. My work is somatic, and largely informed by Somatic Experiencing, a method for resolving trauma symptoms and nervous system regulation, and NARM, a somatic, depth-oriented model of working with developmental trauma. I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy remotely and in person in partnership with Journey Clinical. Rather than trying to “fix” symptoms, I aim to collaborate with clients to understand what their nervous system has learned through overwhelm, loss, or past harm, and how those patterns may still be shaping their experience in the present. I work in a way that prioritizes safety, pacing, and choice, supporting you in building greater capacity for connection, agency, and aliveness over time. My practice is explicitly health-at-every-size, sex-positive, gender-affirming, neurodivergence-affirming, and kink-aware. I specialize in working with folks from fat, 2SLGBTQIA+, BIPOC, disabled, neurodivergent, and ethically non-monogamous communities, and with people navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, body image, identity exploration, life transitions, and relational patterns.

Therapist

Virtual • California


I believe every relationship holds the capacity to heal, grow, and transform. If you’ve found your way here, it probably means you’re ready for change. You don’t have to face it alone. My passion is helping couples break free from painful cycles, rebuild trust, and rediscover the closeness that first brought them together. Clients often tell me that what makes my work different is the balance of honesty and compassion I bring into the room. I won’t shy away from the hard truths, but I deliver them with care and a deep commitment to helping you thrive.
