“To me, the monarch butterfly is more than a beautiful creature — it’s a symbol of hope and transformation. It reminds us that with courage, persistence, and self-confidence, we can overcome any challenge that comes our way. We all possess the inner strength and wisdom to rebuild after hardship — and that belief is at the heart of Monarchs Therapy.”
Hi, I’m Judith (Judy) Verduzco, LCSW — founder of Monarchs Therapy. I started this practice because I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel truly seen, heard, and supported. As someone who personally knows how life-changing therapy can be, I’m deeply passionate about helping people find clarity, strength, and hope, even in the most difficult seasons of life.
What began as a personal mission to support adults through anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions has grown into a team of caring, dedicated therapists who share my commitment. No matter who you work with here, you’ll have someone by your side who will meet you where you are, honor your story, and walk alongside you toward the life you want to live.
We’d be honored to walk this path with you.
