Marina Vazquez Araiza, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Marina! I’m a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, mental health, substance use, and relationship concerns. I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy that helps clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change in a supportive and nonjudgmental space. My focus I work with adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, relationship concerns, or difficult life transitions. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhealthy patterns, or ready for a change but unsure where to begin, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work toward healing, healthier coping, and meaningful changes. My approach My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your individual needs. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood, while also helping you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll build practical coping skills, and strengthen self-awareness. My communication style I want therapy to feel like a space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and talk openly without judgment. I’m warm, down-to-earth, and compassionate, but I’ll also be honest and gently challenge you when it can help you grow. And when appropriate, I believe a little humor can make even difficult conversations feel more manageable. My journey to mental healthcare I was drawn to this work because I’ve always valued connecting with people and understanding their stories. Over the years, working with individuals facing trauma, addiction, mental health concerns, and major life challenges has strengthened my belief that people can heal, grow, and create meaningful change. My goals for you We’ll work together to set realistic goals based on what matters most to you. I’ll help you identify what may be getting in the way, build practical skills, and take manageable steps toward meaningful change.
