Marco Morelli, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Marco!

My approach to therapy is first to establish a trusting relationship, through which we can collaboratively clarify your goals and how I and our relationship can be of the best service to you.

My focus

I have a breadth and depth of experience working with various conditions. I am most passionate about helping people find ways to overcome stress and oppressive forces, learn skills to optimize their functioning and leverage mind-body connections, and pursue a life path that is purposeful and specific to their unique talents.

My approach

People are complex, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. My specialty is to develop an approach that is specific to you, while then using educational approaches to empower you to learn skills so you can, over time, learn to be your therapist.

My communication style

My tone and style are respectful, humble, professional, and friendly. I will always attempt to help you understand the 'Why' behind my approach. It is important to me to feel like you can walk away from our interaction feeling more empowered and confident to make well-informed choices.

My journey to mental healthcare

As the younger of two children born to Syrian and Italian immigrants, integrating different cultural aspects of myself has provided foundational skills for understanding the complexities and nuances of adaptation, overcoming acculturative stress, and how personal stress interacts with environmental stress.

My goals for you

Goal setting is key to ensuring that we both share a common understanding and a shared reality. I also use skills-building as a way to ensure that we are focused, while also helping you understand that learning skills will be critical in ensuring your long-term progress even after our work together is completed.

Our first session

You can expect me to be curious about getting to know you and your goals. I will be open and transparent about my experiences and what I can offer you. I am here to serve you, so I will help you understand how best to use my skills and our therapeutic relationship.
