Marilyn Mejia-Pena

My communication style

I provide a safe and supportive space for clients during sessions in which we work collaboratively to identify goals and session content to best meet their needs. Working with me feels like having an ally and a mentor committed to helping process, understand, and thrive in being resilient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to this career because I wanted to help people impacted by trauma build resilience skills to help them thrive. What drives me to do this work is having the privilege to be part of the healing journey of clients and see their transformation into resilient, thriving beings.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative and ongoing process in which assessment measures, client input, and the therapist's assessment are utilized to determine needs and goals. Progress is reviewed with the client throughout treatment, and goals are adjusted as needed to best meet the client's needs.

Our first session

During the first session, clients can expect to engage in conversation to introduce them to how I work and to gather information about them and what brought them to therapy. We will begin exploring goals and possible interventions. I usually share a couple of coping skills for clients to begin implementing right away.
