Marisol Swords

  • Marisol Swords (she/her)

    Clinical Mental Health Counseling Associate

    Hi, I’m Marisol—from the Bronx, because it’s always relevant. I bring the strength,

    resilience, and heart of my Boricua upbringing into every room I’m in. My approach to

    therapy is relational, culturally attuned, and rooted in ancestral wisdom, helping clients

    reconnect to self and community. I integrate DBT and Nonviolent Communication (NVC)

    through a deconstructive, decolonial lens—centering liberation, identity, and body-based

    awareness. With over 20 years of experience in meditation and coaching, I support clients

    navigating complex relationships, life transitions, chronic stress, and identity exploration.

    My work is LGBTQIA+ affirming, trauma-aware, and grounded in collective care. I offer

    sessions both in-person in West Seattle and virtually across Washington.

    Focus Areas / Modalities / Populations:

    • DBT & Nonviolent Communication (NVC) through a decolonial lens

    • LGBTQIA+ affirming and identity exploration

    • Chronic stress, burnout, and life transitions

    • Relational healing, open relationships, and chosen family

    • Mindfulness, somatics, and ancestral reconnection

    • Neurodivergent adults, trauma healing, and intergenerational/family-of-origin work
