Hi there, I'm Maria Marlen!
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) psychotherapist and immigrant from Mexico, raised in California, with a humanistic and trauma-informed approach to therapy. My work is shaped by both professional training and lived experience, including navigating grief, loss, and the complexities of the immigrant experience.
My focus
If you've learned to survive by staying strong for others, feeling emotionally exhausted, navigating intergenerational trauma, impacted by family disruption, anxiety, burnout, or unresolved grief, you don't have to carry this alone. I will walk alongside you through these profound life transitions.
My approach
My therapeutic style is relational and grounded, with a strong belief in the healing power of being genuinely seen and understood. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where together we set meaningful goals and work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on building insight, self-compassion, and practical tools for lasting change.
