Marco Regalado Chacon, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Marco!

If you're struggling to cope with life's challenges, I can help you navigate these obstacles and discover a path forward. I'm committed to helping people build healthier relationships with themselves and those they care about. My work targets ineffective patterns, habits, and beliefs around the self and relationships.

My focus

I love working with queer folks, folks dealing with anxiety and depression, and folks trying to heal from trauma of all kinds. My clients are eager to improve but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, and anxious about what steps to take next.

My approach

I use a trauma-informed, person-centered method to understand you, your environment, and your challenges. Together, we'll uncover systemic, social, environmental, or biological factors causing distress. We may use DBT, ACT, Solutions-Focused Therapy, and Harm Reduction Psychotherapy. I don't believe one approach fits all.

My communication style

I'm all about clear, open communication and creating a space where you feel supported and not judged. I listen closely and offer space to reflect on what you're going through, walking alongside you as a thoughtful, empathetic partner. When things get tough, you can count on me to stay calm, steady, and patient.

My goals for you

I see therapy as a partnership. We'll work together to set goals that matter to you—whether that's strengthening relationships, building confidence, or something else that feels important. As you gain new insights, those goals might shift, and that's okay. We can adjust our plan anytime to make sure it still feels relevant and meaningful.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions and focus on making sure the fit feels right. The main goal is for you to get a sense of who I am and how I work, and to decide whether I might be the right therapist for you. I'll share more about my approach and check in to see if that aligns with what you're looking for.
