Hello! My name is David Marquez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based out of San Francisco, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with the LGBTQ+ and Latino community and specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), client-centered therapy, and trauma therapy modalities to help my clients process their emotions and acquire tools to self-regulate.

I believe that everyone should be treated with compassion, kindness, and understanding how your life experiences have shaped you.

Having worked with populations affected by inter generational, socio-economic, and intersectional identities, I always prioritize asking: How do we navigate environments that don’t, or can’t, understand who we are?

Compassionate. Sensitive. Intuitive. Bilingual-Español. My work focuses on transforming emotional pain to experience life more freely and fully. In a non-judgmental way, I work with clients to identify the core conflicts that keep appearing in new contexts. I understand symptoms as a privileged doorway to resolve these underlying conflicts. I also focus on how hidden links in the family tree influence us, and how transgenerational issues don't allow us to live "our own" lives. Secrets and unresolved family issues force themselves into our personal stories until they are resolved. We become as sick as our secrets.

As a bilingual Latino clinician, I have successfully used my clinical skills by applying Cognitive Behavior Therapy interventions and Motivational Interviewing, with individuals experiencing depression, PTSD and anxiety.

My ability to connect with clients at each step of the treatment process has helped them achieve successful outcomes, symptom stabilization, and self determination.

I typically work best with clients that have a high degree of self-agency and are in a career building or sustaining phase of life. I enjoy working with clients that enjoy a challenge from their therapist to grow and improve from visit to visit.
