Marisela Adams, LMFT

I am a bilingual, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nine years of experience in working with children and their families.  I have been certified in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) by UC Davis since 2009.  PCIT is for children ages 2-7, who display display disruptive, disobedient, oppositional, or dysregulated behaviors.  Treatment involves in-vivo sessions with parent and child during play time.

In addition to being a PCIT therapist and Trainer, I also provide Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for children ages 3-18 who have experienced some type of trauma.  Treatment is focused on individual sessions with the child as well as child and parent conjoint sessions.

Furthermore, I provide Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for ages 18 and older, who suffer from PTSD and other corollary symptoms following traumatic events.  This model treatment focuses on how the traumatic event(s) is construed and coped with by a person who is trying to regain a sense of mastery and control in their life.  Please contact for more information.
