As a queer, Latinx therapist, Marisol believes that therapy should be a safe space to navgiate feelings and foster a positive, trusting relationship between you and your therapist. Using lightness and humor, she aims to create a positive environment to slow down and make space for your emotions while navigating life’s complexities. She enjoys working with clients across the lifespan, with a particular interest in working with adolescents and young adults learning to navigate transition. She is passionate about creating a therapeutic space that is affirming, collaborative, and grounded in each client’s lived experience. 

Marisol works relationally, believing that establishing a sense of safety and comfort in the therapeutic relationship is foundational to good therapy. She utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS) model frameworks to help clients explore and deepen an understanding of themself with a greater sense of curiosity and compassion. She also incorporates behavioral therapy interventions to support meaningful, practical change, particularly around issues like anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She enjoys bringing creative dimensions to therapy, like art and music, offering clients the option to explore alternative ways to process emotions beyond traditional talk therapy. She is dedicated to making therapy a positive experience tailored to each client’s individual needs, especially for those who feel intimidated by the process of starting therapy. 

Marisol received her BSW from the University of Vermont and her MSW from the University of Illinois Chicago. In her free time, she enjoys swimming in the lake, reading novels, and spending time with her dog and three cats.
