About me

Hi! I am a bilingual and bicultural psychotherapist that sees this profession more as a calling than a job. I love helping people understand that they can have healthier and happier lives if they invest a little bit of time in understanding their way of thinking and how this impact their emotions and behaviors.

I have extensive training in trauma, depression, anxiety and other mood and personality diagnosis as well as grief and substance abuse. Being able to reach both cultures: North American and Hispanic, has also opened my understanding of other relationship problems in couples and families when language and culture are barriers in their interactions.

I see every person as individual and I adapt my training to their individual needs. Counseling is not for the sick, but for the ones that believe in change. What you will receive in therapy is unconditional acceptance since that is the main point of my life's philosophy.

I look forward to start helping you! Should we start?

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Amaranta Penate-Marty. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I've been working with Amaranta for a couple of years now. She is so adaptable in her approaches which allows me to continue to grow and for us to work together to find an approach that truly works. I can't imagine ever having another therapist.

I've been working with Marty for awhile and she is great! She always has very practical advice and a great memory for details so we can pick up where we left off the week before easily. Highly recommend her to anyone needing strategies for depression or anxiety.
