Marco Guillen , LMFT

Marco Guillen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 20 years of clinical experience. He has spent much of his career supporting people who face addictions and the ripple effects those challenges create in relationships and family systems. He has worked in a variety of settings including clinics, hospitals, and schools, gaining practical experience with coping strategies, relapse prevention, anger management, and improving communication within families.

Marco approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and he emphasizes a collaborative process that tailors conversation and treatment planning to the individual’s needs. His work draws on evidence-informed methods such as Solution Focused therapy, Feedback Informed Treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to address issues like addiction, relationship conflict, self-esteem, and impulsivity. He helps clients explore life purpose, navigate midlife concerns, and manage mood and panic symptoms while also addressing process addictions, substance use, and smoking or vaping cessation.

Recognizing that change takes courage, Marco supports and empowers clients as they take early steps toward more fulfilling and balanced lives. He adapts his therapeutic style to fit each client’s goals and preferences, working step by step to build practical skills and clearer pathways forward.
