Lizzy Madrigal is a therapist and writer based in Orange County, CA. She is a graduate of Emerson College’s MFA in Popular Fiction and has an MA in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University. She has co-written several articles for the mental health nonprofit IDONTMIND and her poetry has been published in Harness Magazine and Writerly Magazine. While her primary focus in the past has been writing fiction, she also enjoys writing poetry to help process and understand her emotions to the fullest capacity. With more than ten years of experience in the mental health field, she hopes to combine her loves of psychology and writing to create stories that will continue to inspire others.
Her debut book everything in its season is a poetry collection that highlights the natural ebb and flow of life’s seasons. Inspired by her own mental health journey and reconnection to herself, the collection touches on themes of anxiety, depression, family, friendship, love, self-discovery, and personal growth. Through poems and lyrical essays, Lizzy invites you to join her as she explores how her past and present have shaped her view of what it means to build a meaningful life; even if it does not look like everyone else’s.
