Getting to know Karina Melara-Arroyo
Hello there! My name is Karina, and I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist based in California. I hold a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Pepperdine University. I have a passion for helping people navigate their journeys and seeing them achieve success throughout the process.
With over 6 years of experience in diverse settings, I have worked with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. I strive to provide you with compassionate, non-judgmental, and client-centered care to empower you to reach your goals and create meaningful and lasting change.
Whether you're dealing with relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary, but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques.
I am looking forward to working with you to begin the healing process together!

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits
