“Michelley Garcia-Arroyo created a very comfortable and supportive environment during sessions. She was patient, attentive, and genuinely listened without making me feel rushed or judged. I appreciated how understanding and compassionate she was throughout the appointment, and I felt heard and respected the entire time. Even virtually, she was able to create a safe space where I felt comfortable opening up. I’m grateful for the positive experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and professional provider.”

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 should a new client know about working with you?
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.
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.

Michelly helped me through such a pivotal time in my life. When my mother passed away, and then I got pregnant about a year after, I thought I would be drowning in depression. With Michelly’s guidance and support I navigated my grief in a healthy way, planned for my birth, was able to advocate for my labor plan, protected my body, and protected my mental space. I didn’t deal with postpartum depression this time around - I was able to go back to work and then even grew my career from there. Thankful, always, for Michelly and her work with me.
