Hello, my name is Marlene Reyes. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I believe that therapy is a fundamental step to begin the process of healing and recovery. As a bilingual provider, I aspire to bridge the language barrier and dismantle the stigma associated with mental health. Not only do I utilize my experience and education but I also use my lived experience to my practice. As a second generation Mexican- American, I am able to understand the intersectionality of culture and how it may affect mental health treatment. I fully understand cultural humility and how it can contribute to one's healing process. I have worked with individuals that are experiencing some of the most difficult moments in their lives in both outpatient and inpatient settings. My favorite thing about being a provider is witnessing my client's healing journey and progress throughout therapy. My ultimate goal is to provide a safe and comfortable environment for you to begin your healing process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Marlene is very professional in therapy, she is helping me a lot with my problems, but when I see her, I feel hope, not only professionally, it is in her way of being, it is nice to talk to her. Thank you.
Marlene is a wonderful therapist. She listens and helps me explore my feelings. Holds me to my homework. I am enjoying it because it makes me work on what was discussed during last session
