Lina Marquez

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida since March 2007 and recently, in 2023, I became a Professional Clinical Mental Health Practioner in the State of New Mexico. I have over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy and assessing adults, families and children in multiple settings. I consider myself skilled using a variety of clinical interventions (expressive arts with cognitive-behavioral, client-centered and trauma-informed approaches) in three languages: English, Spanish and French.

I am a Colombian born immigrant who came to the US to further my education and practice as a psychotherapist. During my years of experience in psychotherapy I learned to incorporate the creative side of the human brain to facilitate expression and better flow the emotional communication. I have helped many people work through coping with life changes, stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and other multiple issues... I thrive in connecting with the person and developing trust, hope and faith in the therapeutic -and creative- process. My main focus is to provide a safe space for open conversations -via TeleHealth- that allow the person to find their own path towards growing and healing. It takes courage to face our psychological challenges AND to take the first steps towards change, if you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you all the way!

Einstein said, "Logic will take you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere"...

I am mostly Cognitive Behavioral and use EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing), expressive arts and narrative based techniques. I start treatment on developing a good trustful and caring relationship with the person I am talking to in a non-judgmental free conversational environment.

The person can expect a thorough conversation with the most respect and non-divided attention from me as a therapist. They would navigate different areas of their life: their habits, personal history and their soul...
