“I recently completed my first visit with Maribel and it was excellent.
She was very easy to speak with, and she quickly garnered my trust (Maribel’s approach was evidenced based and pragmatic). Furthermore after our session, she quickly followed up via email with useful recommendations based off our conversation.
I greatly look forward to continuing to work with her.

Getting to know Maribel Dugas
I’m Maribel Munguia Dugas, a Bilingual Mental Health Therapist Certified in Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, EMDR Trained, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) trained and Certified in HeartMath (Biofeedback)
I work with you to identify your goals and barriers and create a customized plan that is sustainable for you.
My mission is to help you reach your full potential by teaching you essential skills that will help you regain control of your life, enhance your relationships, feel energized, content, and more confident in your body.
Providing you with the best therapy and wellness practices is our number one goal.
I taught self-defense and fitness for almost twenty years, and I’m very passionate about improving mental and physical health simultaneously. As a licensed clinician since 2008, I have learned from many different experiences over the years. I provided services in a variety of mental health settings, including a hospital, schools, and in community based mental health agencies.
Throughout my career, I have helped others improve their coping strategies, relationships, and lifestyle choices, and I’ve assisted them in overcoming challenges and pushing through dire circumstances. For me, it is through the combination of positive mental and physical health developments where I see my clients improve most.
In early 2020, I became certified as a Mental Health Integrative Medicine Practitioner in order to further support my clients' health improvements. I believe in having balance in our lives, and that means looking at our psychological, physical, social, and spiritual health. I am also very passionate about helping underserved populations, and I provide various types of services to these populations through my Community Health Project.
I specialize in helping clients who are motivated to make changes in order to improve their lives.

We will use our many years of experience to work with you and support your growth. We believe in educating you to feel better through gaining clinical insight, increasing mindfulness, learning adaptive coping strategies, learning about healthy lifestyle factors and improving sleep quality.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The first few sessions usually involve getting to know the client better, assessing their needs and gathering information. After that together we develop a mutually agreed upon plan incorporating the goals that we came up with together.

Maribel gives practical guidance which I really appreciate. Her help has been life changing and she really does practice what she preaches as well. I can’t recommend her enough. Being a working mom herself, she’s been very supportive and understanding of that part of my own life. She really cares about her patients and she helps in all the ways she can.
