Monarchs Therapy was founded by Judith A. Verduzco, LCSW, MPA, with a simple belief: everyone deserves a place where they feel truly seen, heard, and supported.
Having experienced the transformative power of therapy herself, Judith envisioned a practice where compassionate, evidence-based care could be delivered in a welcoming environment that honors each person’s unique story.
What began as one therapist’s vision has grown into a collaborative team of clinicians and clinical supervisors who share the same commitment to helping individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and thrive.
Inspired by the resilience of the monarch butterfly, our name reflects the belief that healing is a journey of transformation. Although our practice has grown, our mission remains the same—to meet every client with compassion, respect, and hope while supporting them through life’s challenges and celebrations.
Today, Monarchs Therapy continues to provide personalized, trauma-informed care throughout California, helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, and life’s many transitions.
To create a place where healing begins with compassion, connection, and curiosity—honoring each person’s unique story through personalized, trauma-informed, and evidence-based mental health care that nurtures resilience, fosters lasting growth, and supports meaningful transformation.
We meet you with empathy, presence, and nonjudgment, creating a space where you feel truly seen and supported.
We foster resilience, insight, and meaningful change, supporting your growth one intentional step at a time.
We honor and respect the diverse identities, histories, and lived experiences that shape who you are.
We integrate proven therapeutic methods with holistic mind-body practices to support all aspects of your well-being.
We provide fully virtual sessions across California and partner with insurance to help reduce barriers to care.
Finding the right therapist is one of the most important parts of the healing journey. That’s why we’ve built a team of compassionate clinicians with diverse specialties, backgrounds, and approaches, united by a shared commitment to helping every client feel seen, heard, and supported. Wherever you are in your journey, we’re here to walk alongside you with curiosity, compassion, and care.
