 Hello, my name is Marsia Rangel, MSW. I began my work in this wonderful field in college when I was a Sexual Assault Advocate for the Riverside Area Rape Crisis Center. It was there that I realized that I wished to continue my journey in the the field. I received a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology from the University of California, Riverside and a Master's degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I have had the opportunity to work with many populations including 0-5 years old, children, adolescents, teenagers, transitional age youth and their families while working with the County of Riverside. At the County of Riverside, Department of Mental Health, I worked as a Mental Health Case Manager and a Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist to the population I worked with at the time in an outpatient settting. I have also had the opportunity to work with adults and older adult populations while working in a private medical clinic. At the private medical clinic, I had the opportunity to work as a Behavioral Health Care Manager with adults and older adult populations in an outpatient setting. In therapy I take from my experience in using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy including Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent Child Interaction Therapy, Play Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy,  and mindfulness techniques, to work with the different populations I provide treatment.

  Hello! My name is Mariejose Fichtner, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I

received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Ethnic Studies from University of California, San Diego

and my Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I have

over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health where I’ve worked with several diverse

communities and issues that include: grief, family conflict, trauma, mild to severe mental health

symptoms, parenting, immigration, phase of life changes, pregnancy and postpartum, anger

management, dual diagnosis, crisis intervention, and everyday life stressors. My therapeutic

approach is one that is collaborative with the client. I utilize different treatment modalities that

include solution focused therapy, cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy,

mindfulness, and systems therapy. I believe that no one is defined by their mental health

symptoms or by the painful situations or experiences they have lived or are currently

experiencing. Rather, I believe individuals are defined by their resilience, their work, and their

hopes of something better. True strength comes from the ability to look inward, to recognize, and

accept help when navigating through the many challenges of life. My commitment as a therapist

is to help you and see you through this process.

I have a Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of Southern California with a concentration in adult mental health and a Bachelor’s degree in Socio-cultural Anthropology with a minor in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can share their story, gain insight, increase personal strengths, and be themselves to have a happy and meaningful life. I strongly believe that clients are the experts of their own lives and for this reason, I utilize strengths-based, client-centered, and cultural-informed approaches.

I incorporate evidence-based interventions such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT in treatment to effectively reduce symptoms. I strongly believe that therapy does not have to be boring; I try to make sessions fun by incorporating art, music, games, and video games.

I truly believe that therapy can change a person’s life. My main goal is to provide unconditional positive regard to my clients and to use the best of my knowledge to assist them to overcome adversities of life. Processing trauma and learning new tools to cope with life adversities are a click away!
