La Wanda Marrero

My communication style

I create a safe, trusting, and supportive experience. I am transparent and encourage honesty and self-acceptance in client decision-making and goals. I challenge a client's goals of therapy to align with the client's actions.

My journey to mental healthcare

I created a therapeutic writing class after publishing my first book in 2008. I realized writing was an essential tool in acknowledging, accepting, and permitting myself to overcome challenges I faced as a child. I believe wholeheartedly that others could also benefit from learning to express themselves through the art of writing and therapy.

My goals for you

I allow a client to define their reasoning for therapy and their expectations of therapy based on the goals they have chosen. Sometimes obtaining a goal is a step-by-step process, and I am available and committed with flexibility.
