My name is Marcela, I was born and raised in Mexico City and have been living in Boston for the last 26 years , I'm very comfortable in English and Spanish. I studied the career twice. My approach to therapy is co-constructivist, collaborative, strength based and solution oriented. I believe you are the expert in your story and I'm here to walk with you and offer you companionship and guidance as needed. Altogether, I have over twenty years of experience, 4 of them in Massachusetts and I've been in 12 step based recovery for 16 years. I believe in teletherapy! Telehealth is real, in many ways, is more efficient than doing it face to face. Think of me as a family PCP, I'm a generalist. I am always deeply interested in people and their stories, I would love to hear yours. If you are looking for help among us, I already believe in you! You are the kind of people that get the help they need and get better. Looking forward to meeting you.

A compassionate and competent therapist! She is a deep listener who makes space for the client to express what they're feeling and name their own solutions, all the while providing support and encouragement.

I was matched with Marcela after filling out the questionnaire. I could not be happier with the match. From the first meeting Marcela was warm, personable and had a sense of humor which was welcoming and immediately put me at ease. She listen attentively to my background and was able to focus on the issues that were most important to me. We were able to establish a repour that was comfortable and still allowed for keen observation and perceptive conversation.
I am grateful to have found a good match!

Marcela is the most wise and comforting person I have in my life to talk to! Whenever I am stressed about something and I can't think through it myself, she always offers me another perspective and I always end up feeling a lot better about the situation after. Marcela legitimately makes my life better, and I highly recommend having her as your therapist.
