Michelle Zaragoza, LCSW
Rooted in cultura y comunidad—reimagining pathways to healing, well-being, and collective liberation.
Drawing on my experiences as a daughter of immigrants and my work as a community-based mental health therapist in Los Angeles, my scholarship and clinical practice explores culturally grounded, creative practices and policy interventions that promote healing, well-being, and collective liberation among Latine communities.
I am a First-gen Latina Scholar, Educator, and Mental Health Practitioner.
I am committed to advancing culturally grounded and transformative approaches to healing that honor the wisdom of lived experience, culture, community, and the body. Through scholarship, clinical practice, and community engagement, I work to expand possibilities for mental health and well-being among Latine communities and to reimagine healing in ways that are culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and rooted in collective liberation.
Scholarship
As a community-engaged scholar, my work aims to explore possibilities for healing within Latine communities through culture, art, and storytelling.
Clinical Practice
I offer Somatic, mindfulness-based, and culturally grounded therapy for first-generation Latine young adults and working professionals.
About Me
Bridging clinical knowledge, community wisdom, and transformative approaches to mental health.
