Great to meet you!

Hello, I am Marco, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 8 years of experience supporting clients from all backgrounds. My areas of focus include men's issues, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and psychotic disorders. I believe the most effective therapy is rooted in authenticity and mutual respect. My approach is collaborative and direct; I provide a safe, honest space to explore your challenges, focusing on practical truths rather than avoidance.

My approach to therapy

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy for individuals, and systems-focused approaches for couples. I often compare our work to having a personal trainer: we will actively build your skills during our sessions, and I will equip you with actionable strategies to maintain your progress in your daily life.

What you can expect from me

Your first session will be an opportunity for us to get to know one another. I will listen to what brings you in, explain the therapeutic process, and collaborate with you to define your goals. Together, we will develop a personalized roadmap for your growth, including a realistic timeline for your treatment.
