I am a board-certified Family Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I've worked in different practice settings, including private practice, community mental health, homeless and correctional services, and addiction. I treat and manage a range of disorders ( depression, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, PTSD, OCD, addictions, etc).
Hi, I’m Marilia. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard and respected. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life changes, and emotional pain. My goal is to help you feel less alone, better understood, and more supported as you take steps toward healing.
Hi and welcome, I am Empathetic, non judgmental, and down to earth. As an EMDR CERTIFIED therapist- I care deeply for my clients healing.
My "niche" is helping women with trauma (abuse/domestic violence etc). Clients with anxiety are drawn to me due to my calm demeanor. I have been in the field since 2008.
I worked at Beacon Mental Health (formerly Tri County Mental Health) in Kansas City MO for nearly 10 years.
I am licensed in Texas and Missouri. I offer in person in Frisco Texas and telehealth sessions throughout the state of Texas and Missouri.
I have two graduate degrees in the field (Behavioral Medicine/Health Psychology and Professional Counseling) and am a licensed behavioral health clinician in both Texas & California. My experience includes working with individuals and groups with a wide range of mental health, substance use, and basic counseling issues. I believe we all need help at points of our life and, if we are willing to ask for it, the support and guidance can be invaluable.
If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.
If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.
