Marisol Angarita, ASW

Marisol hopes clients leave therapy feeling supported, empowered, and more confident in their ability to navigate life.

Marisol is a bilingual therapist who provides care in both English and Spanish, creating a space where clients feel understood, supported, and culturally seen. Her desire to become a therapist grew from her own upbringing and a lifelong pull toward supporting individuals and families who need guidance, compassion, and advocacy. She understands how overwhelming life can feel when emotions are hard to manage or when stress and trauma seem to take over. This personal insight fuels her passion for walking alongside clients as they reconnect with their strengths, build resilience, and move toward healing.

Her professional journey includes five years of case management in a mental health hospital serving individuals with severe mental illness, where she supported clients with complex needs. She has also worked closely with foster youth and young adults, helping them access resources related to addiction recovery, teen pregnancy, family reunification, and healthcare. Through her work in Medi-Cal programs, she has supported clients across the lifespan—from infancy through older adulthood—giving her a broad understanding of how mental health impacts individuals and families at every stage of life.
