Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at marisol@swordsandink.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Imma come at you honestly and bluntly while remembering that compassion and truth are a required dialectical balancing act in parenting. Whether we are in my West Seattle office or meeting virtually across Washington, we will assess and examine relational dynamics and family culture while learning what's being modeled. We will learn to walk the middle path between being the parent you are today and the parent you have the capacity to become, and learn new skills and behaviors to pass onto our kids.


I see clients ages 17 and up. Whether you are an older teen, an adult, or navigating complex family systems in the Greater Seattle area, I provide direct, culturally grounded support.


I offer therapy to all varieties of family and relationship setups in Seattle and across Washington State. Coming from a three-person co-parenting system, and a collectivist cultural background, I understand that the standard nuclear family is not always the structure we actually live with.


We do not currently accept insurance for group or individual sessions.
