Berenice Marsh, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Berenice!

I am a bilingual therapist who approaches therapy with a holistic lens and believes that healing is a journey. I meet clients where they are in that journey. My areas of expertise are first-generation immigrants and racial stress, as well as adults who have experienced trauma.

My focus

I primarily work with women within the BIPOC community and am comfortable treating a variety of mood disorders and PTSD.

My approach

I use somatic interventions, provide psychoeducation on the neurobiology of stress and other mental health disorders, and work with clients in out-of-the-box, individualized interventions that will attempt to address their concerns.

My communication style

I want to create a safe space where my clients feel they are seen, heard, and not judged. Working with me should feel like you don't have to code-switch and that you have someone that is walking this journey with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was driven into this path organically. I have always been a magnet for people to tell me their life stories and share their worries in the most random places; so I thought, why can't I make this a career?

My goals for you

It is a collaborative approach; we will work on the things the client wants to address and that they find most disruptive in their life.

Our first session

Expect a thorough intake where I will try to make you feel safe while also getting to know what brought you into the therapy room.
