Getting to know Veronica Munguia-Guizar

Hi there, I'm Veronica! Hello, I am Veronica Munguía, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I earned my Master's in Counseling from California State University, Los Angeles. My practice is grounded in social justice and intersectionality. Therefore, I begin therapy focused on building a relationship with each client in which we explore and honor their lived experiences. I have over 5 years of experience in community-based mental health and providing trauma-informed care. My approach I approach therapy holistically and tailor evidence-based treatments such as TF-CBT, EMDR, and Narrative Therapy to aid clients in processing their experiences and centering their joy. I consider myself a client-centered therapist, which means I value the wisdom and strengths of my clients. I work collaboratively alongside them to identify their goals and develop a personalized plan for treatment. My focus My specialties include treating children, young adults, and families from marginalized communities (i.e., BIPOC, LGBTQ+, low SES) to manage the stressors of modern life and overcome multigenerational trauma in order to cultivate self-awareness, self-worth, and personal growth. My communication style My communication style is empathetic, warm, and nonjudgmental. During sessions, I focus on being present with my clients and creating a space in which they feel safe and seen. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I believe in affirming the dignity and worth of each individual. My first session with you During an initial session, I seek to gain a better understanding of what my clients hope to gain from therapy. Together, we create a shared understanding of what to expect during the initial phase. My focus is for clients to feel comfortable engaging in therapy.
