Marisela Alderete Franco

Hi I am Marisela, welcome! Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adults facing a variety of emotional and personal challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, stress, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can openly process what you’re experiencing while feeling heard, understood, and empowered.

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel safe to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences honestly. Together, we’ll identify the obstacles that may be impacting your emotional wellbeing, relationships, personal growth, or sense of balance and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I understand that every individual is unique, which is why I tailor therapy to your specific goals, experiences, and needs. I use an integrative approach that draws from evidence based therapeutic techniques, including CBT, mindfulness based practices, psychodynamic therapy, motivational interviewing, and behavior focused interventions.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and solution focused. I strive to help clients build healthier coping skills, gain insight into patterns and behaviors, improve emotional resilience, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges. Together, we’ll create a therapeutic experience that feels supportive, empowering, and aligned with your personal goals.

The first session is an opportunity for us to begin building a trusting and collaborative relationship. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, the challenges you’re currently facing, your goals for treatment, and the areas where you’d like support.

My goal is to create a comfortable and welcoming environment where you feel safe sharing at your own pace. Together, we’ll begin identifying meaningful goals and developing a personalized plan to help you move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional wellness.
