Empowering Your Journey to Reclaim Control of YOUR Life

Hi, I’m Marcella! I’m not just a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) and Certified Trauma Therapist with over 12 years of experience in community mental health; I’m also a single mom and a real person who deals with everyday stress just like you. I understand firsthand how work stress, compassion fatigue, and the challenges of life can feel overwhelming.

As a former executive at a large San Antonio nonprofit, I supported high-performing therapists in high-pressure environments, focusing on emotional intelligence to help them navigate stressful situations. I’ve seen how these pressures can impact emotional and physical well-being, especially when mixed with major life transitions.

I’m passionate about working with busy professionals like you find that balance again. It’s not just about self-care; it’s about learning practical ways to set healthy boundaries and reconnect with what truly drives you. Together, we’ll explore sustainable practices to help regulate your nervous system and manage stress for the long haul.

Certifications and Specialties:

  • Certified Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist (TF-CBT) (2017)

  • EMDR Trained Therapist (2021)

  • Trauma and Grief Component Therapy (2017)

  • Compassion Fatigue Professional (2024)

I’m here to guide you on your journey to wellness. Let’s take that first step together!

My core values of empathy, balance, and resilience shape a supportive space where clients can heal, grow, and feel empowered to regain control of their lives.
