Grief counselors and therapists in Santa Clara, CA

Hi I'm Eleanor! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and New Mexico. I am passionate about empowering people to build self-trust and self-acceptance. Most of my clients come to therapy because they want to make a change or cope with a change that they did not choose.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure where to go next, you’re in the right place. Graduated Pepperdine University with Masters in Clinical Psychology in 2007. I’ve spent many years helping adults from all walks of life navigate anxiety, depression, panic attacks, trauma, relationship stress, life transitions, and identity questions. I especially enjoy working with men (including those who are completely new to therapy), as well as women wanting help understanding the important relationships in their lives. Whether you're processing past experiences, facing grief or loss, adjusting to a new stage of life, or trying to better understand who you are and where you belong — I’m here to help.

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 goal with therapy is to provide a safe and open space to process and prioritize a growth mindset. I tailor my therapeutic approach to best match the needs of the client and truly believe in promoting acceptance. Some modalities I have experience with and may incorporate into therapy are Acceptance Compassion Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused, Client-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Here-and-now Counseling, Trauma-Informed, and Holistic. I have a passion for working with individuals who are looking to unpack complex emotions and experiences that have shaped their understanding of the world.

I am a licensed therapist who has been working in the field since 2014 with diverse individuals in different settings. I attended California State Polytechnic University for my Bachelors Degree in Psychology and the University of Southern California for my Masters in Social Work. I specialize in working with individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, trauma, women's issues and grief and loss issues. On a personal note, I love to hike, cook and watch movies.

With a background in both behavioral health and critical care nursing, I understand the importance of treating the whole person — emotionally, mentally, and physically.
