Getting to know Michelly Garcia-Arroyo

Perinatal & Postpartum Mental Health - Trauma-Informed Therapy Motherhood can be deeply meaningful, yet it can also feel overwhelming, isolating, and far different from what you expected. You may be navigating pregnancy, postpartum, or early motherhood while feeling anxious, emotionally exhausted, or unlike yourself. Many mothers experience postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, or the emotional impact of a premature birth or NICU stay. You may be longing for a space where you can speak openly about what you are carrying, make sense of your experience, and reconnect with your inner steadiness. I specialize in perinatal and postpartum mental health and trauma-informed care. My approach integrates insight-oriented therapy with body-based practices that support nervous system regulation and emotional processing. Together we gently explore your experiences, helping you move toward greater grounding, resilience, and self-trust. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially during a time that others may expect to be joyful. You deserve care, understanding, and a space where your experiences are held with compassion. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like a good fit.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I begin with a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, answer your questions, and make sure working together feels like the right fit. From there, I take time to understand your full experience — not just what you're struggling with, but your history, your nervous system, and the strengths you already carry. My approach weaves together insight-oriented therapy and body-based practices, so we work with both your mind and body to support healing. Our sessions move at your pace. We gently explore what you've been through — whether that's postpartum depression, anxiety, birth trauma, or the emotional toll of a NICU stay — and work toward greater grounding, resilience, and self-trust. You will always have a compassionate, judgment-free space here.
