Get to Know Me

Mariah Oca, MSW, LCSW
(She/Her)
Licensed Psychotherapist (#110974)

Putting others' needs first and struggling with self-compassion is real. I help people who are tired of feeling burnt out, convincing others that "everything's fine," or who are seeking a safe space to process injustice. Perhaps you are questioning if your relationship or marriage is the right fit. Together, we can work to heal from past hurts, discover what it means to live your authentic life, and refine a framework to gain clarity to meet your needs.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is bilingual in English and Tagalog (Filipino). I work with individual adults and couples that identify as queer, transgender, artists, neurodivergent or are questioning their gender or sexual identity. My approach to therapy is person-centered, insight-oriented, strength-based, and explores relationships, family dynamics, core beliefs, and attachment styles. I have completed Level 1 Training in Gottman Couples Therapy and use Gottman Method Couples Therapy in my work.

I understand the struggles of BIPOC, im/migrant, and Asian American family dynamics and the importance of honoring cultural and community values. I am gender-affirming, LGBTQ+ affirming, and bring a compassionate, non-judgmental, anti-oppressive lens to therapy.
