Professional Bio

Hi! My name is Marlena and I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) helping clients through transition, trauma, anxiety, sadness, grief, relational concerns, and many other mental health concerns.

As a clinical mental health therapist, I view individuals as experts in their wellness journey. I seek to empower clients so they are able to see themselves as experts in their own healing process, capable of both retrieving, learning, and maintaining skills for ongoing recovery, emotional autonomy, and overall resilience. When working with clients, I strive to fully understand an individual and take a holistic approach to my therapeutic process. An individual is much more than the problems or challenges they face, and it’s important for clients to recognize their personal strengths to aid them in their recovery.

I believe that therapy is the art of healing and becoming who we are ultimately meant to be. As a therapist, it’s so inspiring to be a part of this journey with my clients. I love being able to witness and share in a client’s joy when they are able to heal, grow, or achieve something that they did not realize was possible. I get to help my clients feel safe, seen, and understood as they make meaning of their life experiences. It’s so rewarding to see my clients grow into the best version of themselves.

So, if you’re looking to make positive change in your life, I’m here to offer a helping hand as a clinical professional. Schedule an appointment with our front office staff, and begin your wellness journey today!

Looking forward to meeting you,
Marlena Coelho-Sousae, LPCC

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” – Elizabeth Kubler Ross
