Are you having difficulty completing everyday tasks; coping with your emotions; making desired changes on your own; or achieving  your potential?  Therapy may be just what you need to improve your mental health and reach your potential. However, it is important to pick the right therapist - one with experience and with whom you can connect. 

Dr. Marcelo  is an expert at guiding you to achieve optimal well being and improved mental health.

Together, we will focus on solutions and help you learn how to cope with life's challenges; so that you can enjoy your life to the fullest. Dr. Marcelo uses a variety of therapeutic techniques  with an emphasis on cognitive behavioral therapy, support, and skill development. He takes a team approach with his clients and strongly believes in the value of the therapeutic relationship and empowering clients to make decisions in the treatment process.  As opposed to some approaches of therapy which may take several years, Dr. Marcelo believes in the efficacy of a briefer counseling model when possible.

What to Expect From Our Work Together?

During our initial appointment, we will discuss the concerns and issues that bring you to therapy.  Then, we will collaborate on treatment goals. During our work together, I will teach you strategies and skills so that you can feel and perform better.  Many of my patients report feeling better within the first month of therapy and continue to improve thereafter.
