Reesa Morala, MA, LMFT

Reesa Morala is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Reesa is the owner of Embrace Renewal Therapy & Wellness Collective and host of The Real Family Eats. She is dedicated to being a parenting ally, helping parents create thriving families by prioritizing their relationships. Her passion is fueled by her experience as a parent whose child stopped eating at the age of 3 months old and it rocked her identity and her relationship with her spouse. As a 1.5-generation Filipino American, Reesa experienced growing up in a chaotic and emotionally immature environment that did not lend to preparation, support, or a model of how to navigate this transition. Desperate for something more for her children than passing on the generational trauma, Reesa has worked to grow and heal herself and her relationship. Armed with her relatability and her years of professional experience, Reesa has been working to help others do the same. In her private practice, she provides couples therapy, couples workshops, and parenting workshops. In her videocast, she speaks with parents who are dishing on the real parenting struggle while dishing on their favorite recipes. Both ventures aimed with the goal of helping parents feel less alone in the hard and supporting their success as a family.
