Hailing originally from the beautiful state of Oregon, Marisol Villagrana, LMSW, CSW-Intern, kickstarted her academic journey at the University of Oregon, where she received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy. She dedicated a significant chapter of her professional life to the mental health field in a variety of roles before deciding to return to school to pursue a master’s degree in Social Work at the University of Denver. It was her son who inspired her to take the important step to further her education.
During her time at the university, she provided therapy to adults in rural Oregon, leaning heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and incorporating components of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), such as mindfulness exercises and distress tolerance skills. She is currently working on her Foundational Training in EFT Couples Therapy.
Motivated by a commitment to professional growth and development, Marisol is currently advancing her career by pursuing licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Beyond her professional endeavors, Marisol enjoys spending quality time with her family, friends, two playful huskies, and two sassy felines.
