Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Southlake, TX

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 am a strong advocate for ending the stigma that surrounds mental health. Everyone needs counseling, yep... even me! Join me as I destigmatize counseling services one session at a time. As a previous school guidance counselor, I have experience providing counseling to teens. I have a peaked interest in psychoeducation; including but not limited to, coping skills, boundary setting, attachment styles, locus of control, self-esteem, cognitive distortions, core belief work and much more.

Clients should know that I am a therapist who both supports and gently challenges them, because I believe growth happens when we are willing to look at our thoughts, patterns, and behaviors honestly. I strive to create a safe, warm space while also helping clients push past comfort zones in a healthy and empowering way. I bring joyful, positive energy into sessions and hope clients feel encouraged, understood, and capable of change
