Looking for a Therapist?
You’ve tried several self-help books, talking to friends or family, walking , avoiding social media, shopping , isolating , over eating or under eating and none of these things have worked to decrease your anxiety. You’re physically exhausted from experiencing ongoing anxiety and panic attacks. It’s tiring being stuck in the past due to lack of effective coping skills or past trauma. You may even feel so fearful of the future that you can not enjoy the present moment.
A Therapist Who Helps with Anxiety, Trauma and Burnout
My name is Patricia “Patty” Munoz , I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California #LMFT 77160 and I am a therapist who helps women overcome anxiety and pain from their past. I am passionate about culturally competent mental health care for Latina women in California.
I like to see my clients make progress and we will have usual check-ins about your progress in therapy at 5 weeks, 10 weeks and 15 weeks. In my experience these are important milestones to reflect on progress or obstacles in therapy. Keep in mind we can adjust therapy as needed or more often if necessary. I rely on your feedback to make therapy work for you. I will also provide kind direct feedback and guidance in therapy. Clients have shared with me that they feel more confident when they have clear goals and direction in therapy.
I’m first generation Mexican-American, first born daughter raised by a single mother. I get the struggles that come with living in two cultures at the same time and how how it can impact mental health. I am passionate about breaking the stigma of mental health. My blog focuses on these struggles and offers guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions in Rancho Cucamonga Counseling
-
I offer Rancho Cucamonga counseling to clients throughout the Inland Empire, and I also see clients online across California, including Ontario, Upland, and Fontana. Online sessions mean you can work with me from wherever feels most comfortable and private for you.
-
I specialize in EMDR therapy, a research-backed approach that helps process anxiety, trauma, and burnout at a deeper level than talk therapy alone. It is particularly effective for Latina women who have been carrying a lot, often for a very long time, and are ready for things to feel different.
-
My rate is $165.00 per 45-50 minute session
For the most current information on insurance, I encourage you to reach out directly. I am happy to talk through your options during a free consultation so there are no surprises before we begin working together.
-
Your first session is mostly a chance for us to get to know each other. I will ask about what brought you in, what has been hard lately, and what you are hoping to feel or do differently. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready for. I want you to leave feeling heard, not overwhelmed.
-
If anxiety, past trauma, or exhaustion have started to affect your daily life and you have tried to push through without much relief, EMDR may be a good fit. I work specifically with Latina women navigating these experiences, so I understand the cultural pressures and family dynamics that often shape how stress shows up in your body and your mind. Moreover, EMDR therapy goes beyond talk therapy to address deep rooted trauma.
-
Yes. I focus my practice on supporting Latina women through anxiety, trauma, and burnout because I believe culturally informed care makes a real difference. I understand the weight of familismo, perfectionism, and the pressure to hold everything together, and I bring that awareness into every session. I offer sessions in English, Spanish and Spanglish.
-
Absolutely. I see clients online throughout California, so you do not need to be in Rancho Cucamonga to work with me. I also serve clients in Ontario, Upland, and Fontana. As long as you are in California, we can meet virtually from wherever you feel most at ease.
