David Marquez

My name is David Marquez and I am a Licensed Clinicial Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I have been a social worker for over 10 years and graduated from San Francisco State University. As a Latino therapist, I’m especially passionate about serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, and I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and real conversation into the room. Your identity, experiences, and personality aren’t side notes here — they’re part of the story we honor. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and occasionally sprinkled with humor — because sometimes the most healing moments come right after we say, “Ohhh... that makes sense.”

My approach to therapy starts with each client's individual needs. I believe everyone should be treated with compassion, kindness, and understanding that life experiences have shaped you. Through open dialogue with your inner self, therapy helps you build tools and skills to live a meaningful life separate from pain and trauma. I enjoy working with adults in the LGBTQ+ community who have struggled with identity, acceptance, family trauma, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, and building self-esteem.

During out first session, you can expect to discuss what brings you to therapy, what your goals are, and us getting to know one another a bit better.
