Julio Garibay, LCSW

I bring in a bicultural perspective in therapy to be culturally attuned and address rooted issues related to our mental health struggles.

As a first-generation person of color raised in East Los Angeles and of immigrant parents from Mexico, it has been a healing journey for me to work through my own traumas to be fully present and genuine with any one I am working with.

I am here to help you address issues pertaining to your past, present, and future self to heal and begin to take the steps in breaking negative generational cycles. I have experience working with diverse populations of individuals in community, school, and clinical settings. I incorporate a social justice lens to analyze the impact of how our intersecting identities, cultural, and social forces impact our mental health. I collaborate with you in the process of healing and tap into your inner strengths, while identifying the cycles that get us caught in limiting our potential.

In therapy sessions we will explore and draw connections to our roots. I will use a combination of family systems approach, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, psychodynamic, and trauma informed therapy to address the internal, historical, or family cycles that impact our mind, body, and soul. I am passionate and experienced in working with survivors of trauma, racial and cultural trauma, historically underserved youth and their families, people of color, first generation young professionals, and anyone that is willing to grow and heal. I look forward to joining you in your journey!
