Hi, I’m Marvin West, a bilingual Spanish-speaking therapist with training in Expressive Arts. I believe therapy is a powerful tool for growth, healing, and self-discovery. You are the expert of your own experience, and my role is to meet you where you are—through the highs and the lows—offering guidance and support along the way. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths and map out a personalized path to success. In our sessions, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up authentically, take meaningful risks, and work toward the healing and growth you deserve. Let’s take this journey together to create a brighter, healthier future for you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we’ll take the time to get to know each other. I’ll learn more about you, your history, and what has brought you to seek support, while also answering any questions you may have about my experience and approach to client-centered therapy. Your comfort and sense of safety are my top priorities. Together, we’ll determine if we’re the right fit to work toward your goals and create a path forward that feels supportive and empowering. Let’s begin this journey toward progress and healing, one step at a time.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to meet clients exactly where they are. This creates a space where curiosity can guide the conversation, allowing you to share your experiences openly, without fear of shame or judgment. Another key strength is my personalized approach to treatment. I design plans that not only address your unique needs but also empower you to take healthy, meaningful risks on your journey to growth and healing. Together, we’ll work to build a stronger, more confident version of yourself.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

You are brave. Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming, and seeking support is a courageous step toward growth and healing. Whether you're facing struggles like substance use, navigating depression or anxiety, or dealing with personal challenges in work, relationships, or lifestyle, you don’t have to do it alone. Together, we’ll work toward breaking down the barriers holding you back from the peace and happiness you deserve. My approach is compassionate and culturally sensitive, tailored to your unique needs, so we can discover the best path forward for your success and well-being. Let’s create the space you need to heal, grow, and thrive.
