More about Marina
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My clinical expertise centers on addressing trauma, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and the unique issues of military service members and veterans experiencing mental health issues.
I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive approach to therapy, drawing from extensive training in trauma-informed care and evidence-based practices. My background includes deep work supporting individuals through depression, life transitions, anger management, and healing from past traumatic experiences.
Fluent in both English and Spanish, I am committed to creating a supportive, affirming therapeutic environment where clients can explore their strengths, develop resilient coping strategies, and move towards meaningful personal growth. My approach is collaborative, honoring each individual's unique journey and inherent capacity for healing.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
