About Marina Pate

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with low self-esteem, relationship challenges, and patterns of self-doubt that often stem from early life experiences or past trauma. My ideal client is someone who often appears confident but feels unworthy or unsure inside. They struggle with low self-esteem, people-pleasing, or unhealthy relationship patterns—like difficulty setting boundaries or fearing rejection. They’re tired of second-guessing themselves & want to break free from old cycles. Their goals are to build self-trust, feel more confident, create healthier relationships, & treat themselves with compassion.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and rooted in evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and self-compassion work. Whether you’re navigating a difficult breakup, trying to set boundaries, or working to quiet your inner critic, I’m here to help you feel more confident and connected.

I believe real change begins with self-awareness and self-acceptance. In our work together, we’ll identify the patterns holding you back and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence and clarity. If you’re ready to feel more empowered and build stronger, healthier relationships, I’d be honored to support you on that journey.
