Lucy E Marrero, LMFT CPHQ
Founder of Enraiz Behavioral Health

Lucy E Marrero LMFT CPHQ

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist she/her

I approach therapy with curiosity and respect for what you know about your own life. My background includes community organizing and healthcare leadership, with work in quality, safety, and behavioral health integration. Those experiences inform my attention to relationships and to the systems that affect people’s health and wellbeing.

I am especially interested in how people hold on to what matters to them during difficult times. In our conversations, I will listen for the concerns that brought you to therapy and for the knowledge you have developed in responding to them as we work on building a life you love.

How I work

How I work

You do not need to arrive with a clear explanation or a complete story. We can begin with what feels important to you today. I ask questions to understand your experience, and I welcome your questions about my approach.

Read more

Our work can include emotional and spiritual life, relationships, cultural context, and practical concerns. Your beliefs and preferences guide what belongs in the conversation. I draw on narrative and cognitive-behavioral practices, and my work is also informed by Afro-Caribbean and Yoruba healing traditions.

A narrative approach

A difficult experience can come to dominate how you see your life. In narrative conversations, we explore its influence while also looking closely at experiences that do not fit that account. A choice you made, a relationship you sustained, or a time you resisted an unfair expectation may tell us something important about what you value.

We can consider how family expectations, culture, and unequal access to resources shape the stories available to you. Together, we can give more attention to the understandings of yourself that you want to carry forward.

Community and belonging

My community organizing background shapes my interest in the relationships people rely on and the communities they want to build. I work with LGBTQ+ individuals, Mestiza and mixed-race people, and families of many structures.

I also support people living with chronic pain or illness and people affected by workplace and family trauma and violence. As a healthcare leader and provider, I enjoy working with fellow healthcare providers of all kinds—physicians, nurses, therapists, counselors, and administrative workers.

Spiritual and religious experiences are welcome in therapy, as are uncertainty, agnosticism, and atheism. We will follow what is meaningful to you.

Areas of focus

Support for parents and healthcare professionals

Support for parents

When your child is having a difficult time, you may be carrying worry, exhaustion, and questions about what to do next. I offer a place to talk openly about that experience and consider what support would be useful for you and your family.

I have a particular interest in working with parents whose children or teens are receiving hospital or residential care, or returning home. We can talk through safety planning, communication with treatment teams, and the changes that coming home may bring. We can also explore boundaries and connection with adult children living with serious mental health concerns or substance use problems.

The work takes your concerns seriously while leaving room for your child’s abilities, your family’s knowledge, and the parts of life you want to reclaim together.

Support for healthcare professionals

Caring for others can bring meaning to your life while also asking a great deal of you. I work with physicians, nurses, therapists, counselors, and administrative workers who want space to talk about the pressures of healthcare work and how those pressures are affecting their lives.

As a healthcare leader and provider, I bring an understanding of the settings in which this work happens. We can explore experiences of burnout, grief, conflict, or feeling unable to provide the care you value. Together, we can consider what helps you stay connected to what matters, what needs to change, and what support you want within and beyond work.
