Marco Godinez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Marco!

I specialize in career choices, educational goals, family dynamics, parenting, relationship challenges, loneliness, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and cultural issues. I work with the LGBT+ community and offer bilingual services in English and Spanish.

My focus

I work with a diverse adult clientele, ranging from young adults to more senior folks. I can work with individuals who are recreating themselves, including the elderly, families, teens, couples, and individuals with life transitions. I offer culturally sensitive help in both English and Spanish, sí hablo Espaῆol.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is person-centered and strength-based. I primarily use mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral, and somatic techniques. Furthermore, I want to get to know my clients on a personal level, listen to their concerns, and hope that they feel empowered in their future endeavors.

My communication style

My style is personable and collaborative. I use relatable analogies and stories to help you realize you can make the changes you want. Together, we work through whatever challenges stand in your way so you become the dominant force in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I take a holistic perspective, addressing mental, physical, and spiritual well-being so you can thrive at a deeper level and build healthier relationships. Mental health incorporates all of who we are and brings out the best in our journey through life.

My goals for you

My goal is to provide compassionate understanding and a clear plan for moving forward. Whether recovering from depression, overcoming anxiety, healing relationships, learning to cope, or improving communication, I help you enjoy life more regardless of circumstances.

Our first session

I believe laughter and lightheartedness can be powerful catalysts for healing within a professional framework. Sessions are warm and non-judgmental, where you can express your authentic self. Expect a thorough assessment involving your current and past personal issues.
