Cultural Identities

About Marlene Chamonica, MA, LMHCA

I am accepting new clients 🙂 Anxiety, depression and difficult thoughts and emotions can be indicators of deeper hurts and traumas. As human beings we are relational in nature and our deepest desire is to be seen, known and accepted; you are not alone. I enjoy and have experience with teens & adults struggling with anxiety, depression, family conflict & separations. I use different theories including attachment, family systems, cognitive, somatic & individuals’ cultural & spiritual wisdom. 

It can be difficult to identify and name our inner world. I’ve been there in my own journey, and as a first generation therapist, it is my priority to help you name, process and nurture anxiety, loneliness, shame, perfectionism & painful emotions, feelings & beliefs. Together, we’ll also co-create your mental and emotional toolbox for daily living on the way to deeper healing.

We all have inner strengths and in greater awareness we will uniquely explore the intersections of mind, soul and body, so you can more authentically step into your voice. I can also incorporate Christian faith-based principles and values for clients who wish to explore spirituality & therapy safely, including processing spiritual and church harm and trauma.

Estoy aceptando nuevos clientes 🙂 La ansiedad, la depresión y los pensamientos y emociones difíciles pueden ser indicadoras de heridas y traumas más profundas. Como seres humanos, somos relacionales por naturaleza y nuestro mayor deseo es ser vistos, conocidos y aceptados; no está solo. Disfruto y tengo experiencia con jovenes y adultos que luchan con la ansiedad, la depresión, conflictos familiares y las separaciones. Utilizo diferentes teorías, incluyendo el apego, los sistemas familiares, las teorías cognitivas, somáticas y la sabiduría cultural y espiritual individual.

Puede ser difícil identificar y nombrar nuestro mundo interior. He pasado por eso en mi propia experiencia, y como terapeuta de primera generación, mi prioridad es ayudarle a identificar y procesar la ansiedad, la soledad, la vergüenza, el perfeccionismo y las emociones, sentimientos y creencias dolorosas. Juntos, también cocrearemos su conjunto de herramientas mentales y emocionales para la vida diaria, en el camino hacia una sanación más profunda.

Todos tenemos fortalezas internas y, con mayor consciencia, exploraremos de forma única las intersecciones de la mente, el alma y el cuerpo, para que pueda expresar con mayor autenticidad. También puedo incorporar principios y valores cristianos para clientes que deseen explorar la espiritualidad y la terapia de forma segura, incluyendo el procesamiento de daños y traumas espirituales.
