Hello! My name is Diana Marquez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have been extremely fortunate and have had the honor to work in the fields of mental health, substance addiction and social work for the last 16 years. I have a passion for helping others as well as a passion for collaborating, supporting and walking alongside the healing journey of those I serve, through the implementation of a nurturing, compassionate, non-judgmental, respectful and supportive mental health treatment approaches.

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

During our first session, I will work diligently to establish and build initial rapport and build a strong therapeutic alliance and relationship which will serve as the foundation of the care you will receive. I will also make sure to answer any questions you may have regarding how therapy works and what to expect from it. As a next step, I will be asking questions which will assist me with gathering information relevant to your background. This will help enhance our work together as well as help me with identifying your strengths, needs and any goals you would like to set and work on, during our time together.

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

My greatest strengths as a mental health provider are my innate passion to serve and help others create positive and healing change in their lives, my ability to work with individuals from all ages and backgrounds as well as my compassionate, caring and warm approach.
