Mariela Navarrette
Hi My name is Mariela Navarrette, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Being a first generation Latin American I understand the challenges and impacts of unprocessed mental health issues within cultures and family dynamics. I have also witnessed and experienced the beauty of receiving help in difficult times and have seen the positive impacts it can have. This led me to pursue a Bachelors in Psychology and Masters in Social Work in hopes that my education, training and skills may help others and cause a ripple effect to bring about change in people. I am passionate about helping individuals discover their strengths, overcome challenges, process uncomfortable feelings and develop healthy habits. It is through therapy that we begin to learn about ourselves and grow as a person.
