Hola! I'm Maria Villeda, but most people call me Mari. I'm a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Homegirl Roots Psychotherapy. As the daughter of immigrants, I understand the balance between cultural expectations, family dynamics, and creating a life that feels true to you.
If you're a millennial woman of color who's tired of being the strong one all the time, you're in the right place. Together, we'll create space for healing, self-compassion, and showing up for yourself with the same care you give everyone else.
My approach is warm, relational, and human. I believe healing happens through genuine connection. Alongside talk therapy, I integrate Brainspotting, a brain-body approach that can help process experiences beyond words. We'll move at your pace with honesty, compassion, and a little homegirl energy.
Bring your cafecito or tecito and sit with me. You don't have to carry it all alone. If you're ready to show up for yourself, your healing, and your growth, I invite you to reach out and see if we're a good fit.
