My name is Lisett Marquez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most difficult experiences. I believe healing begins with feeling safe, understood, and empowered, and I take a trauma-informed, person-centered, and compassionate approach to therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can be your authentic self, explore what has shaped you, and begin creating meaningful change at your own pace.
I have a particular passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma and are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from themselves. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), with working knowledge of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and a Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT)-informed approach. I draw from these approaches to tailor treatment to each person rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with individuals and families impacted by trauma, child welfare, and the foster care system, and I have experience providing individual, group, and family therapy. I understand that trauma can affect much more than our thoughts and emotions—it can influence how we see ourselves, relate to others, and experience safety and control in our everyday lives.
I believe that what happened to you does not have to define where you go from here. Therapy can be an opportunity to heal, reconnect with yourself, build on your strengths, and move from simply surviving toward truly thriving. I would be honored to meet you where you are and walk alongside you in that process.
