Luz Cardona is a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate who is passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful growth. She earned her Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Counseling from Capella University. Luz was drawn to the mental health field through her desire to support others in feeling heard, understood, and empowered to recognize their strengths and take an active role in their lives.

Luz creates a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental therapeutic environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their experiences and working toward change. Her approach is collaborative, person-centered, and grounded in empathy. She believes that therapy can help individuals reconnect with their strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and build confidence in their ability to navigate difficult seasons of life.

Luz works with children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and families who may be navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, life transitions, family and relationship challenges, parenting concerns, stress, and chronic health concerns. She is passionate about helping clients better understand their experiences, strengthen their relationships, and develop practical strategies that support emotional well-being and everyday functioning.

In her clinical work, Luz draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-informed, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, family systems, person-centered, trauma-informed, and play-based approaches. She tailors her approach to each client’s individual needs, strengths, and goals, helping them develop effective coping skills, build self-awareness, and work toward meaningful change.

Luz believes that therapy is a collaborative journey and that individuals have the ability to create meaningful change when they feel supported and understood. Her goal is to help clients develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen their self-image, foster supportive relationships, and feel more empowered as they navigate life’s challenges. Luz provides both in-person and telehealth therapy and offers services in English and Spanish.

Outside of the therapy room, Luz enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading, and relaxing at the beach. She also loves exploring new restaurants and discovering new experiences.
