Getting to know Marcela Atayde
Hello, I'm Marcela. With 22 years of experience as a Licensed Certified Social Worker-Clinical (MSW), I'm confident that I can offer the support you need. As a former client myself, I understand how challenging it can be to find someone to talk to. In our sessions, I create a safe and welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts and emotions.
Together, we will identify your strengths and set goals that will guide you on your healing journey. I believe that you are the expert on your life, and through effective therapy, you'll tap into your inner strength to focus on those goals. During our work, you'll gain insight into old behavior patterns that may no longer serve you and learn to replace them with positive coping strategies. Being true to yourself is vital for a fulfilling life, and in my practice, you are encouraged to be your most authentic self.
I specialize in working with individuals dealing with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, family relationships, gender identity, grief/bereavement, intimate/romantic relationships, LGBTQIA+ support, multicultural/diversity issues, PTSD, sex/intimacy issues, and trauma. My approach is client-centered, and I strive to understand your unique experiences and perspectives.
As a bilingual therapist (Spanish/English), I am able to offer therapy in the language that you are most comfortable with. This ensures that our sessions are as effective and meaningful as possible.
If you're ready to take the next step in your healing journey, I invite you to reach out. Let's work together to help you become your most authentic self.
