About Mariela Lopez-Garcia

Hi! My goal as your therapist is to create a safe space to share your story and be yourself. I believe in growth, change, breaking cycles, and building the best version of yourself. I value supporting diverse clients in all areas of life and meeting them where they are at. I have experience working with trauma, depression, anxiety and loss/grief. Therapeutic approaches I use are client centered, CBT, solution focused, mindfulness and trauma informed.
I received my Masters in Social Work from San Jose State in 2017 and have since then served in community mental health and school based mental health providing therapeutic services to people of all ages and backgrounds. I am a first generation bilingual therapist and have a passion to work with Latinx clients and immigrant communities.
In my free time I enjoy spending time with my loved ones, hiking, and watching movies.

Hola! Mi objetivo como terapeuta es crear un espacio seguro para que compartan sus historias y sean ustedes mismos. Creo en el crecimiento, el cambio, romper ciclos y construir la mejor versión de ti mismo. Valoro apoyar a clientes diversos en todas las áreas de la vida y encontrarlos donde se encuentran. Los enfoques terapéuticos que utilizo están centrados en el cliente, CBT, centrados en soluciones, atención plena y trauma informado.
Recibí mi Maestría en Trabajo Social de la Universidad de San José en el 2017 y desde entonces he trabajado en salud mental comunitaria y salud mental escolar brindando servicios terapéuticos a personas de todas las edades y orígenes. Soy una terapeuta bilingüe de primera generación y me apasiona trabajar con clientes latinos y comunidades de inmigrantes.
En mi tiempo libre disfruto pasar tiempo con mis seres queridos, hacer senderismo y ver películas.
