Marisol Blanco, PsyD., LMHC

By now, you have figured out that you put everyone's needs before your own. It's quite exhausting and rewarding at the same time, we care about others and there is probably nothing we want more than to continue to offer them the best version of ourselves. That's why it's difficult to change... After all, you might not even want to.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Certified Hypnotherapist and Coach and I'm here to help you see how you can best take care of others by taking care of yourself. I am also here to help you establish and maintain those loving connections while establishing boundaries that feel respectful, caring, and fair. Finally, I'm here to help you be and acknowledge the best version of yourself.

I'm here to help you live and love fully.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can therapy help with anxiety, depression, or grief?

Feeling stuck in overwhelming emotions can make everyday life feel exhausting. You may have tried different ways to cope, but the feelings keep coming back, affecting your relationships, work, and overall well-being. Therapy offers a space where you can process these emotions, understand the patterns keeping you in distress, and develop new ways to regain balance. Using an Emotionally Focused approach, we’ll work together to help you navigate these challenges and find a path toward healing.

How does Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) work for individuals and couples?

Struggling with emotional disconnection, whether from yourself or a loved one, can be frustrating and painful. You may want to communicate better, repair past wounds, or reconnect, but it feels like nothing changes. EFT helps identify and shift the deep emotional patterns that drive disconnection, allowing individuals to rebuild self-trust and couples to create a secure and fulfilling bond. Together, we’ll work toward understanding emotions on a deeper level and fostering healthier, more meaningful relationships.

What is hypnotherapy, and how can it help with anxiety, stress, or changing habits?

Dealing with stress, anxious thoughts, or unwanted behaviors can feel like a constant battle. You may have tried different techniques to break free, but nothing seems to last. Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool that works with the subconscious mind—the part of you that holds deep-seated beliefs and automatic responses. Rather than forcing change through willpower alone, we’ll use guided hypnosis to create new, healthier thought patterns that support lasting transformation.

What should I expect in my first therapy session?

Starting therapy can feel nerve-wracking, especially if you’re unsure what to say or how it all works. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming in. Our first session is a chance to get to know each other, discuss what’s bringing you in, and explore how therapy can help. My goal is to create a comfortable space where you can share at your own pace, without judgment or pressure.

Can you help with relationship issues even if my partner doesn’t want to come to therapy?

Relationship struggles can feel isolating, especially when you’re the only one trying to make things better. If your partner isn’t ready for therapy, that doesn’t mean you’re stuck. Individual therapy can still help by giving you insight into your relationship patterns, improving communication skills, and helping you set healthy boundaries. Often, when one person makes positive changes, it can influence the relationship in unexpected and meaningful ways.

How do I know if you’re the right psychologist for me?

Choosing a therapist is an important decision, and you deserve to feel comfortable and supported. Therapy works best when you feel a genuine connection with your psychologist. My approach is warm, collaborative, and focused on deep emotional healing. To help you decide if we’re the right fit, I offer a free 15-minute consultation where we can discuss your needs and see how I can help.

How long does therapy take?

The length of therapy varies from person to person, depending on individual needs and goals. You might see progress in just a few sessions, or you may benefit from longer-term support. What matters most is that therapy moves at a pace that feels right for you. We’ll regularly check in on your progress to ensure that you’re getting the most out of our work together.
