Hi, I’m Helene Garrovillo, LCSW-C.

Life can bring wounds that feel heavy, and you don’t have to carry them alone. I support clients in coping with depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, addictive patterns, self-esteem struggles, ADHD, and life transitions. Together, we can uncover new strengths, build meaningful change, and create space for healing.

My approach is holistic and culturally responsive, honoring your unique story, background, and lived experiences. I help clients reflect on the stories they carry, which can open the door to growth. Recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, and spirit in the healing process, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, set meaningful goals, and explore practical tools for lasting change. Above all, my intention is to provide a compassionate, welcoming space where you feel safe, understood, and empowered to move toward greater meaning, resilience, and fulfillment.

I received my MSW from the University of Southern California. I have specialized training in Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I integrate these modalities to meet the needs of each client. Prior to joining the team at Flourish, I worked as a psychotherapist in community mental health and substance abuse treatment and collaborated with other holistic wellness professionals in facilitating regional and international retreats.

Outside my work as a therapist, I enjoy playing the ukulele, exploring creativity in the kitchen, finding peace in nature, and reflecting on both scientific and spiritual perspectives that inspire my understanding of life and human consciousness.

I meet with clients online and strive to create an atmosphere of trust and care. In this shared space, we work together to navigate challenges, strengthen inner resources, and move toward healing and growth in ways that feel meaningful to you.
