Dr. Michael Marquez

As a queer, Latinx cisgender man, it is my passion to support my LGBTQIA+ and POC community in our own collective liberation. Too often counseling can feel like a non-inclusive space, and my work has focused on providing a healing space where clients feel comfortable being their genuine selves, free from judgment and guilt. Sometimes it feels like many of us move through our day wearing a mask to “fit in,” which is a heavy burden to bear. Together we can work towards removing this mask by helping you tap into what already lies within you - a bit of authenticity, a splash of self-compassion, and a healthy dose of empowerment.

 

I offer therapy to both adolescent youth and adults, particularly individuals who are struggling with life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges or identity issues. I am trans-affirming and also have a focus on men's issues. Additionally, I provide kink and poly informed counseling for couples and individuals.

If you're seeking a calming, collaborative, and silly therapist, I'd love to meet with you!
