Hi, I’m Marcella! Being a college student can be overwhelming—I’m here to offer a safe, supportive space to help you navigate challenges and thrive.

Life as a college student can bring exciting transitions, but it can also feel overwhelming and isolating. Balancing classes, relationships, and big life decisions while figuring out who you are isn’t easy—especially when it feels like the world expects you to have it all figured out. At Still Seen Counseling, I’m here to remind you that you don’t have to face these challenges alone. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported as you navigate this time of growth and self-discovery. No matter your reason for starting therapy, my goal is to provide a personalized, holistic approach to help you grow into the best version of yourself. My style is relaxed, conversational, and approachable. I enjoy using creativity and humor as we explore different skills and We’ll explore thought patterns, relationship dynamics, and past experiences that have shaped you. Together, we’ll identify what supports the life you want and the person you’re becoming, and we’ll work to let go of anything that no longer serves you. Let’s navigate these changes together so you can move forward with clarity and confidence. I look forward to the opportunity to support you!
