Introduction

My name is Marcela Avila, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, welcome to therapy! I have worked with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, interpersonal relationships problems, self-esteem, trauma, and life stressors/transitions. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and families to help them achieve overall fulfillment in everyday life. My approach to psychotherapy is eclectic. I believe in working and creating an individual treatment approach unique to each of my clients. I am person centered but also psychodynamic, in that I believe that the unconscious is an important door to change where we can uncover the root of patterns of behavior. I also have a passion for working with couples and helping them break free from difficult communication patterns using Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on the attachment or strength of the bond a couple has and emotions that are getting in the way of safety, connection, love. etc.
