More about Marisol
- 1 year's experience
- Female
- LCSW
Having personally experienced the challenges of mental health, I know how important it is to feel seen, heard, and safe. I offer a relaxed, down-to-earth space where you can be yourself—no pressure, no judgment. Together, we’ll explore what’s going on in a way that feels natural and supportive. My goal isn’t to “fix” you, but to help you better understand yourself, build self-awareness, and feel genuinely understood. I believe healing happens when people are empowered with both insight and practical strategies.
