Mental Health Match Austin therapist
Marilu Navarro 

   Hi, I'm Marilu (she/her/ella). I'm a first-generation Mexican-American therapist from Southeast Los Angeles. For over 10 years, I’ve been walking alongside individuals, couples, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.

   I hold a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology with a focus on Marriage and Family Therapy from Mount Saint Mary’s University, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the states of California and Texas (LMFT CA 147099 & TX 205901).

   Psychotherapy services offered are trauma-informed and culturally responsive therapy that centers your voice, your values, and your healing. Whether you’re trying to rebuild trust with your partner, figure out boundaries with family, or connect better with your kids, I’m here to support you with kindness and real talk.

   My belief as a therapist is that everyone deserves a safe and supportive space to heal and grow, and I'm here to provide that for you. I offer virtual therapy to folks across Texas and California, so wherever you are, we can connect. And, while I'm based in Austin, Texas, my virtual practice means I can reach you wherever you are in those states. Let's work together to create positive change in your life.

*Limited in-person therapy sessions are available in Austin, Texas
