Maricela is patient and understanding of your needs at times. I cried a little during our first meet and she was totally ok with it. She’s a comforting person a safe space, I’m glad my first therapist was her.

Signing up for therapy is hard sometime, especially if you never done it before. The thought of talking to someone you don’t know is sometimes is scary or nerve racking. But let me tell you Maricela Ponce has been such a great supportive person for me and has helped me so much with everything happening in my life. Not only is she such and great motivator, but a great individual. She is truly amazing and I have really connected with her. She is very understanding and flexible. She reaches out to just see how I am doing. She is professional and respectful and is so welcoming and easy to talk to. Her advice and concerns have help me greatly. I am finally seeing a light at the end of my tunnel and its such a great feeling.
