Getting to know Marlene Cantu
Hispanic Therapist serving women and teen girls (13+) in TX-NM-FL
Are you exhausted from overthinking, constantly worrying about what others think, or feeling like you’re carrying everyone else’s needs while neglecting your own? You may be struggling with anxiety, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or the impact of difficult life experiences. I serve women & teen girls 13 and up. In therapy, you can learn the good & ooey-gooey parts of you, and grow to be your most authentic self! Many women and teen girls find themselves stuck in people-pleasing, self-doubt, perfectionism, or emotional exhaustion. I help teen girls manage issues at school, hormone changes, bullying & social media boundaries.
I provide tools such as muscle relaxation, worksheets, exposure-based techniques, breathing tools, journaling prompts, and the feelings wheel! I also help women heal from childhood emotional wounds, difficult family relationships, toxic relationships, and traumatic experiences that continue to impact self-worth, relationships, and emotional well-being.
As a Hispanic therapist, I understand the unique pressures that can come from family expectations, cultural values, caregiving roles, and balancing your own needs. Cultural values can be a source of strength, but they can also create unique pressures and challenges that are not always understood by others. Schedule with me today & begin healing!
