Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in helping individuals navigate the challenges of pre- and post-divorce relationships, infidelity recovery, and couples seeking healing, understanding, and intimacy. I also support people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma/complex trauma, codependency, anger management, bipolar disorder, self-harm behaviors, and lack of assertiveness by helping them develop a healthier self-concept.
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.
My clients may find that they are struggling with trusting themselves or others in relationships, have difficulty feeling safe or confident in their own body, and/or some have past difficult/confusing/traumatic events that can make them feel stuck. I specialize in helping teens, adults, and families with Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, Trauma, Eating Disorders, Depression, Adjustments, Life Stressors, and Grief and Loss.
I graduated from the University of Texas at Tyler with a Master's Degree in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I spent the beginning of my career in mental health working at an MHMR, as well as with those struggling with addiction and eating disorders.
My approach is holistic and culturally attuned, blending evidence -based therapy with deep empathy and understanding of each partners lived experience. Together, we will work towards healing with real coping tools that you can use.
Life is hard and sometimes scary. We all need a safe place to get support and help. I am here to walk alongside you and navigate the uncertainty.
I have a BA in sociology from The Ohio State University and a MA in Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. I am an inclusive counselor, an LPC, in the state of Texas and a National Certified Counselor through the NBCC. I see see adolescents and adults specializing in trauma and addiction.
