Getting to know Marisela Adams

Hello, my name is Marisela Adams. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 19 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from California Baptist University and a Bachelor’s degree from Azusa Pacific University. My passion has always been to assist those in need and provide the necessary tools for a healthier state of mind and well-being. I have experience working with children (9-12 years old), teens, and adults. My approach I use screening measures to track and monitor progress throughout treatment. I employ evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I). My focus I specialize in treating trauma, loss and grief, OCD, panic disorder, mood dysregulation, anxiety, and depression. My communication style I create a warm, inviting, and open environment for my patients. Privacy is essential, and my goal is to build a strong therapeutic alliance. I provide a space where patients can express and process complex mental and emotional challenges. During treatment, I evaluate which tools and aids are most appropriate for each patient’s needs and tailor them individually. My journey to mental healthcare In our first meeting, we will review policies and relevant documents. I want to understand what brought you to seek help, hear a brief summary of your life history, and learn what you hope to achieve in treatment. This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. You are welcome to ask any questions about my education, experience, and therapeutic approach. My goal is for you to feel comfortable and validated because you matter. My goals for you Based on your report and individual needs, I collaborate with you to develop treatment goals focused on what is most important to you.
