Getting to know Mishell Arizaga

You may look like you have everything together while feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure of yourself. Maybe you overthink conversations, struggle to set boundaries, or repeat relationship patterns that leave you drained. I work with adolescents 13+, adults, couples, and Spanish-speaking clients who want to feel more confident, communicate more clearly, and understand how past experiences affect the present. Together, we identify patterns, build practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change at a manageable pace. I provide therapy in English and Spanish for anxiety, self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma, life transitions, stress, ADHD, OCD, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused, drawing from CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness, trauma-focused, strength-based, and supportive therapy. Starting therapy can feel uncomfortable, especially if you are not sure what to say or where to begin. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. We can start with what has been weighing on you and move at a pace that feels comfortable. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship and family concerns, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we identify patterns, manage anxious thoughts, strengthen communication, build healthier boundaries, and develop practical coping skills. My goal is to help you feel more confident, connected, and equipped to navigate everyday challenges.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your goals. I draw from CBT, DBT skills, solution-focused, trauma-focused, strength-based, and supportive approaches to help you understand patterns while developing practical tools for change. Sessions balance space to process your experiences with strategies for managing emotions, relationships, boundaries, and everyday stress.
