TELE-THERAPY – California

I have over 5 years of professional experience in the social services and mental health field. I have worked in non-profit organizations, community based mental health organizations, schools, after-school programs, and I graduated with my Bachelors in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin Madison, and received my Masters Degree in Social Work from Columbia University in New York with clinical focus on children, youth, and families.

I am passionate about supporting and empowering individuals in becoming their most authentic and best selves. I approach therapy with a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens, by utilizing a whole-person approach and meeting each client where they are at. I create a nurturing and empathetic space in therapy for my clients to feel supported. I want to support all individuals in identifying their strengths, building their self compassion and resiliency, to be able to find their life purpose an meaning.

I am a License Clinical Social worker. I have over ten years of experience working in various community and mental health settings. I have experience working with people from a range of ages, backgrounds, phases of life, and challenges. I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, adults, and older adults. I am fluent in both English and Spanish.

I am a client centered therapist that utilizes an array of modalities to help you get to where you want to be. I believe that each individual is the expert in their own life and has the potential to achieve their desired goals so they can feel satisfied, emotionally stable and balanced. I meet people where they are at and work progressively towards achieving the changes that they want to see. I work with individuals in creating a “toolbox” of coping skills that they can utilize on their day-to-day basis. I provide individuals with a non-judgmental space where I am empathetic and offer unconditional positive regard to process their feelings, and life stressors. I help individuals identify their already existing strengths so they can utilize them on their journey.

In conjunction with my professional experience and education, I have been able to gain the tools to help you. Before practicing in the field, I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Social work from California State University Los Angeles. After receiving my BSW, I worked as a case manager in the field of behavioral health. I discovered that helping people was my lifelong passion therefore I decided to further my education. I went on to receive my Master of social work from California State University Long Beach. Since then, I have worked in the mental health field helping people get through some of the most challenging times of their lives.

It is my belief that it takes courage to seek help, therefore you have already taken the first step to find that overall peace and happiness that you are seeking. Together, you and I, can come up with your individualized treatment plan and goals. I look forward to working with you.

“The beginning is the most important part of the work.”  –  Plato  –

Recognizing that the thought of getting started can often be overwhelming, my initial approach is creating an empathetic space for us to begin to explore your decision to start treatment.

My work over the last 14 years has included individuals (ages 8 – 84), couples, families and groups.  I have been fortunate to be able to provide insight and vehicles to change to personal struggles and family conflict.  Honoring that every client is different, I recognize the importance of integrating various interventions that take in to account both inner strength and fragility of spirit.

Though my foundation is rooted in Psychodynamic & Attachment Theories, I incorporate several modalities (CBT, Solution Focused, Mindfulness, Positivity) based on the client’s unique circumstances and history.

With my steadfast belief in in the mind’s resilience and potential, I invite clients to welcome their path to change.

“Change your thoughts and you change your world.”  – Norman Vincent Peal

Hello!  My name is Cryssol Marquez and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (LMFT) and I have been working in a psychotherapy field since 2013. I have experience working in community mental health and in private practice with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting, teen concerns, life transitions, and a wide range of challenges, including grief/loss, trauma, sexual and physical abuse and crisis as well as adjustment issues.

I tend to draw from the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused approach when in a therapeutic relationship with my clients. This means that I make consistent efforts to meet each client “where they are in their journey” and to serve as a support to each individual who is progressing through their unique process of self-discovery and realization. I also use such modalities as Reality and Choice Therapy.  The approach I strongly believe that helps the therapeutic relationship is understanding this is a collaborative effort by addressing challenges together, understanding that the therapeutic relationship is free from judgment and criticism. Most importantly, to reach the desired outcome set during our initial sessions.

I believe in creating a safe space where difficult and uncomfortable conversations are welcomed.  Acknowledging and working toward resolving issues and collaborating on a treatment plan that is customized to your personal needs and experiences.  It takes courage and strength to reach out for help as this is a vulnerable place for most individuals. I appreciate and feel privileged to be a part of your journey of self-awareness, change and for a better future that you desire.

I look forward to working with you! 

Specialties

• Stress, Anxiety
• Grief and Loss
• Trauma
• Emotional, Physical and Sexual Abuse
