My name is Mariella, but clients and friends alike also call me Mars! I'm an aspiring clinical social worker (LCSW) based in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Being inclusive is my top priority as a provider! I have worked extensively across numerous demographics, including: immigrants, refugees/asylees, veterans, BIPOC, and the LGBT+ community. I am also a strong advocate of individualized, holistic care–not just treating symptoms. All in all, you can say that my approach to therapy is trauma-informed, client-centered, eclectic, and intersectional.
My "intersectional" approach to therapy is based on the idea that people's lived experiences are shaped by ALL aspects of their identity. This includes, but isn't limited to, race/ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, and culture. All of the pieces that you're composed of are important because they're what make you, you.
As a queer brown immigrant, I understand the necessity in connecting with providers who are inclusive, affirming, and most importantly of all: safe. Whether you're BIPOC on foreign soil or LGBT+ without the support of allies (maybe both; maybe neither), please be assured that I will always prioritize your safety and integrity above all else!

During our initial sessions, I employ a narrative approach in which the client shares as much or as little as he/she/they want about his/her/their life. Then, together, we address which experiences may be influencing the client's current issues. Many of my clients report noticeable improvements to their depressive, traumatic, or anxious symptoms within the first 4-6 sessions.

I use an Eclectic Approach to therapy with a focus on CBT, mindfulness, Attachment Theory, and Narrative Therapy. My firm belief is that treatment must ALWAYS be client-centered - after all, you know your story better than anyone else! If we were in a car, you'd be the driver, and I'd be your Siri.
