Meet Julissa miro quesada, lmft

Hi! Thank you for taking a moment to learn about what I do and how I can help you.

My approach is informed by over 14 years of experience in community mental health and psychotherapy. I primarily draw from trauma-responsive practices, including mindfulness, cognitive processing, somatic therapy, emotional regulation strategies, and psychodynamic theory. Together, we work to understand the roots of your pain, create meaningful change, and help you move toward a healthier, more authentic version of yourself.

My areas of focus include anxiety and depression, relationship issues, life transitions, body image, hormonal changes, and identity. An essential part of my work is helping people sustain the motivation to change while reconnecting with the inner resources, strengths, and wisdom they may have lost touch with along the way.

I hold a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I have also worked as a Behavioral Health Director at a community clinic in Los Angeles and as a Mindfulness Meditation facilitator in both private and public settings, working with individuals and groups.

I believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. I bring warmth, lightness, and, when appropriate, a little spontaneity into the therapeutic process. I find that humor and genuine connection can create a sense of ease and safety, making it possible to explore difficult things without losing sight of the person behind the pain.

Most importantly, I believe that therapy is a collaborative process. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and move toward the life you want.
