Geovana Marquez
MA, AMFT
I have experience treating children, teens, adults, families, and couples with mood disorders, self-esteem, and relational issues. I am passionate about Latinx, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ populations.
I am passionate about working with children, teens, young adults, and adults to process various experiences in their life. Whether grappling with concerns related to anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply seeking a safe space for self-exploration, my commitment is to honor and understand each person's unique experience.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in mindfulness therapy to cultivate awareness, cognitive-behavioral therapy to explore the intricate connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and psychodynamic therapy to delve into the roots of your emotions and behaviors for a deeper self-understanding. Additionally, I incorporate an LGBTQIA+ affirmative framework, fostering a safe and inclusive environment for all clients.
As a Chicana therapist, I bring a unique perspective to my practice that goes beyond traditional therapy. Embracing my cultural identity, I understand the significance of navigating the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, and personal experiences. This allows me to create a safe and relatable space for clients, particularly those from diverse backgrounds.
I meet clients exactly where they are on their path toward healing and growth. If you are searching for a therapist committed to diversity, cultural competence, and providing specialized care for BIPOC, LGBTQIA individuals, and those grappling with symptoms of anxiety, depression, or low self-esteem, I am eager to be a supportive fellow traveler on your journey to healing.
