Grief counselors and therapists in Fontana, CA

I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to helping children, adolescents, and adults navigate difficult life experiences and build emotional resilience. I have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, family conflict, and self-esteem challenges.

My work focuses on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, understand their experiences, and develop healthier coping skills. I have worked with individuals and families dealing with trauma, abuse, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

I am passionate about helping clients rediscover their strengths, improve their emotional well-being, and build healthier relationships. My goal is to empower each person to move toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth.

I am dedicated to helping individuals make meaningful, lasting changes by developing coping skills that fit their unique life experiences. With over 20 years of experience in addiction treatment and mental health services, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and client‐centered approach to therapy. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone else, and my role is to support you in uncovering your strengths, healing from past experiences, and building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

My specialties include substance use disorders, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and co‐occurring mental health challenges. I am committed to helping clients improve their relationships, reduce stress, and strengthen their sense of self‐worth. I focus on the whole person—mind, body, and environment—because growth in one area naturally supports growth in all others.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California with over 13 years of clinical experience, and I specialize in providing therapeutic support for both men and women. My mission is to provide a safe, stigma-free space where individuals feel empowered to seek mental health support and gain the tools they need to thrive. I bring a "meet you where you are" philosophy and a no-judgment zone to every session. My honesty and authenticity give me a unique way of connecting with clients — and I don't take myself too seriously. That said, we will still go deep when it matters. Taking the first step to start therapy takes courage, and I'm proud of you for getting here.

Listen.... Life happens and it's during the tough and difficult times that as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker I'm here to offer a safe space of affirmation.... and accountability

I'm Mary, and I want you to know that whatever's bringing you here — anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that's fraying, grief you can't shake, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best efforts — you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.

I'm California-licensed and offer telehealth sessions statewide, which means flexible, private care from wherever you're most comfortable. I accept Aetna, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, and Carelon Behavioral Health, and I'm happy to help you understand your benefits before your first session.
