Maritza Marquina

My communication style

I value clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active and reflective listening and will approach your experience with sincere curiosity. If you are working through a challenge, you can expect a space where it can be explored and reflected on. My goal is to provide a genuine safe space.

My journey to mental healthcare

My path to becoming a therapist grew from a commitment to helping others. Through public health work, I witnessed how mental health disparities affect individuals and communities—especially the underserved. This inspired me to support others on their journey toward healing and emotional well-being.

My goals for you

Collaboration is key in treatment. Our first steps will help identify and set goals that matter to you, as well as develop a deep understanding of what you need from this space. Your goals may evolve, and we can adapt our plan at any time to make sure they remain meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

First sessions are a pow wow—a stress-free meeting to explore this new space. This is a perfect time to share your motivations for seeking change and what you are looking for from this experience. No nerves required. I'm here to guide you through each step of the process and offer genuine human-to-human care and connection along the way.
