A note from Marcela

I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish), bicultural LCSW with 23 years of experience supporting neurodivergent adults—autistic, ADHD, AuDHD, late‑identified, or exploring their identity. My work is neurodiversity‑affirming, trauma‑informed, and culturally grounded. I also have extensive experience supporting LGBTQ+ clients. You deserve therapy that understands your brain, your identity, and your culture.
