About

Hello, I am La Wanda Marrero, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist LMFT139411. I have been in practice for over 10 years. My approach is strength-based, to meet you, the client, right where you are. My area of focus is stress reduction and client goal orientation. My approach I have found that video, writing, and journaling are key successes to healing and moving forward. Also, play, art, mindfulness, talk, and client-interest activities offer relaxation and a therapeutic accepting environment. My focus I work with clients who have made a decision to support themselves in making realistic changes and lifestyle improvements that decrease stress, depression, and anxiety with a trauma-informed informed and natural heart approach. My communication style I create a safe, trusting, and supportive telehealth experience. I am transparent and encourage honesty and self-acceptance in client decision-making and goals. I challenge a client's goals of therapy to line up with the client's actions. My journey to therapy I created a therapeutic writing class called Start Steppin after publishing my first book Alice N Crackland in 2008. Realizing writing was an essential tool in acknowledging, accepting, and giving myself permission to overcome the challenges that I faced as a child. I believe I hold heartedly others could also benefit from learning to express themselves through the art of writing, pretense, and therapy. It is my understanding that my past addiction and actions impacted many lives and heroism to encourage positivity. The Lord's grace and avocation are my redemption road, a bridge to healing. Having firsthand knowledge of family dynamics and dysfunction motivated my passion to become licensed as a Marriage and family Therapist. My goals for you I allow a client to define their reasoning for therapy and their expectations of therapy based on the goals they have chosen.
