I am Latina therapist with 8+ years of experience. I've had the privilege of working with children, teenagers, and adults facing trauma, depression, anxiety, and high levels of stress from life transitions or relational challenges.
I have been a therapist for over 25 years providing individual, couple, family, and group therapy. I am very passionate about helping others see their individual strengths and unique gifts to help guide them and navigate challenges in life. The most valuable experience I enjoy seeing is the transformation of a person healing and growing to their desired outcome. I believe every person has the ability to achieve their highest potential.
Looking for someone who will truly listen? I believe everyone needs support, and I strive to be that steady presence in therapy. Clients often describe me as warm, open-minded, and easy to talk to. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself.
Hi, I’m Marilia. I offer therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and I strive to create a calm, welcoming space where you feel heard and respected. I help clients work through anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life changes, and emotional pain. My goal is to help you feel less alone, better understood, and more supported as you take steps toward healing.
I understand that attending therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming, and frequently, the most difficult aspect of the entire process is simply taking the initial step to begin. Nevertheless, you are here now, and you are officially embarking on your personal path to heal and rebuild. I genuinely welcome the chance to connect with you and discover more about exactly how I can support you. My personal approach is consistently warm, deeply empathetic, and highly collaborative.


Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Lubbock starts with identifying what you want to focus on in therapy. That might be anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, or experiences related to discrimination or family dynamics. Look for a licensed provider — such as an LPC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific training or experience in LGBTQIA+-affirming care. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and whether they're a good match before you commit.
Lubbock has a smaller pool of affirming providers compared to larger Texas cities like Austin or Dallas, which can make the search feel limited. Virtual sessions expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who specialize in LGBTQIA+ mental health care. Whether you prefer in-person appointments in Lubbock or virtual visits from home, having both options makes it easier to find the right fit.
Therapy in Lubbock can be expensive without coverage, but using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking. Many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an affirming provider who accepts your coverage.
