Steven Marroquin is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who creates a supportive environment where clients can navigate life's challenges and discover their authentic selves. He works with diverse age groups, from children exploring their emotions to adults and young adults facing life difficulties. Steven brings particular expertise to helping clients manage anxiety, work through depression, and process grief and loss. His compassionate presence creates a foundation of trust where healing can begin.

His therapeutic approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy with mindfulness practices and body-based techniques. This integrative methodology helps clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, reframe their personal narratives, and develop a deeper connection with their physical and emotional experiences. Steven believes that effective therapy extends beyond conversation to include holistic techniques that reconnect clients with their bodies, emotions, and inner wisdom—promoting lasting change that encompasses mind, body, and spirit.

With a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology, Steven brings strong academic foundations to his developing clinical practice. As an Associate MFT working under the supervision of Bibiana Castro, LMFT, he benefits from regular professional consultation that enhances his therapeutic effectiveness while ensuring high-quality care for his clients. His therapeutic approach continues to evolve as he builds experience working with diverse clients and presenting concerns.

Outside the therapy room, Steven embraces fun and adventure, enjoying visits to amusement parks that reflect his playful spirit. He collects postcards from his travels, creating tangible memories of the places he's explored—a practice that mirrors the importance of capturing and honoring significant moments in life. His enjoyment of reality competition shows speaks to his interest in human dynamics, challenges, and growth under pressure—themes that inform his understanding of resilience in therapeutic contexts.
