Allissa Marquez

My clients describe me as:

someone who makes therapeutic experience and talking about difficult topics surprisingly easy and comfortable.

Something to know about my approach is:

Although I offer formal therapy techniques, I take a more practical and casual approach because: 1. research indicates they account for a small part of the change, and 2. therapy work needs to be authentic to the person to be sustainable.

Together, we will:

find new strategies that are scientifically backed and still true to you. Not keen on detailing your trauma? I'm happy to meet you at a starting point you feel comfortable with.

I specialize in working with people who:

First responders, Military, and people involved in the criminal justice system, including Law Enforcement. I've worked extensively with people who typically find therapy a little fluffy but are interested in making important life changes.

I became a therapist because:

I wanted to help others thrive in their lives rather than merely survive it.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I blend in-person and telehealth. So if you're in the field, on a double shift or maybe can't get childcare, you can still take care of you!
