ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m David Marquez, LCSW — therapist, emotional detective, and fluent speaker of both English, Spanish, and “What are we really fighting about?”
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples — whether you’re monogamous, ethically nonmonogamous, open, or somewhere thoughtfully in between. Relationships are complicated enough without shame, judgment, or having to explain your identity before you can even start the work. Here, you don’t have to. My approach blends Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic therapy, which means we’ll look at what’s happening in your relationship right now — and gently unpack the deeper emotional patterns that have been quietly running the show. The goal isn’t to “win” arguments. It’s to understand the attachment needs underneath them and build something more secure, honest, and connected. As a Latino therapist, I’m especially passionate about serving LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities. I offer therapy in English and Spanish, and I bring cultural awareness, warmth, and real conversation into the room. Your identities, experiences, and relationship structures aren’t side notes here — they’re part of the story we honor. Therapy with me is collaborative, affirming, and occasionally sprinkled with humor — because sometimes the most healing moments come right after we say, “Ohhh… that makes sense.” You don’t have to become a different person to have a different relationship. Sometimes you just need space to understand yourself more deeply — and someone steady enough to help you do it.
