Marielle Beniquez, LPCC
My name is Marielle Beniquez, I am an NBCC-National Certified Counselor and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of California. I acknowledge that the process of therapy can be very intimidating. It is a challenge to open ourselves up to feel vulnerable. That is why my approach prioritizes helping you feel safe in a non-judgmental, authentic space. I welcome all those who seek healing, understanding, and peace without any regard to race, color, national origin, sex, creed, handicap, or sexual preference.

A holistic approach to mental health and wellness is my primary goal. Integrative psychotherapy is fundamental to promote healing on all levels: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, and mental. Having a sound mind, body, and spirit is a paradigm that signifies the wheel of wellness in its continuum, enriching the various aspects of life for optimal growth and a sense of well-being. First, cultivating our spirituality promotes resiliency, equilibrium, and wellness. It provides a moral compass that affects our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
As the Serenity Prayer of St. Francis Assisi goes, “God, give me the courage to change the things I can, peace to accept the things I cannot, and wisdom to know the difference..,” renders faith and renewed strength. Second, faith-based counseling along with various treatment modalities is essential to effective therapeutic prevention and intervention. I support the therapeutic approach which best meets my client’s needs that fosters healing, life-giving grace, hope, peace, and love. Lastly, “There is a source within us that always works to bring things into the light.” ~ John A. Sanford
I am a USAF veteran, military spouse, and civilian with over 10 years of experience. Specializing in Depression, Anxiety, Stress/Adjustment Relationship Issues, Military Transition/Lifestyle, Grief and Loss utilizing fact-based clinical interventions to include Cognitive/Behavioral, ACT, Spiritually Informed/Faith-based, and Solution-Focused Brief therapies.
I look forward to working with you and become part of your life as a mentor and counselor.
Reviews
Marielle is the best!!
She helped me through the toughest times of my life! I learned so much from her & forever grateful to have had her as my therapist!
Marielle was a welcome relief to my increasing anxiety levels and multiple life stressors.
She offered good solutions and reminders of coping mechanisms. I feel more confident now in being able to handle various kinds of stress and looking at them through different lenses.
Marielle has been amazing and really personable.
It was always as if I was catching up with a friend. She has a great way at providing perspective.
She has been a huge help these past couple months.
I was struggling to get my anxious thoughts under control, so much that I wasn’t able to sleep. Thanks to her I’ve learned how to control my thoughts and don’t have to worry about having panic attacks. She’s really good at replying fast and a great listener. She gives really good advice for life in general. I thought it would take at least a year to feel better but in 2 months I’ve already improved so much.
