Marcos Andrade

, AMFT

Psychotherapist

Marcos’ personal journey to become a therapist was deeply influenced by his prior career as a hospital administrator, where he gained invaluable insights into the intricacies of healthcare systems and the critical need for compassionate and quality mental health services. Witnessing the challenges faced by both patients and healthcare providers alike was a big part of what fueled his desire to create positive and meaningful change in the lives of others. With a leap of faith and driven by a passion and devotion for mental health and wellness, Marcos ultimately decided to transition out of the world of hospital administration to become a marriage and family therapist.

Marcos brings a wealth of experience, including working in community mental health, where he had worked extensively with people grappling with various challenges, including bipolar disorder, addiction, substance abuse, and chronic mental health issues. As a Bilingual, Spanish speaking clinician, his compassionate and collaborative approach, combined with evidence-based therapies, fosters a supportive environment where clients like you feel empowered to navigate their experiences and pursue meaningful change in their everyday lives. As a Zeeva therapist, Marcos believes in increasing mental health awareness and accessibility in underserved communities, embodying a holistic approach to healing, personal growth, and fulfillment.

Many may not know that: Marcos has a love for music and the great outdoors. Some of Marcos’ favorite hobbies include photography and playing guitar. He also enjoys camping and attending live concerts.
