Mariela Marin, LMFT
Executive Director
I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan where my Mexican father and my Spanish mother taught me the importance of love, being true, and building community. I am honored to walk in the path of Patricia Cooper and Jaclyn Henretig, caring for the well-being of the Santa Barbara community one phone call, client, trainee, associate, supervisor, Center supporter, and human at a time.

Director of Operations
In the nonprofit world, “business” can sound out of place — even misaligned. But in truth, business is simply an idea sustained. While the success of an idea can certainly be measured in dollars, it can also be measured in the number of lives that are touched, reached, steadied, and honored. This is the business of CCEC. I am so proud to support the light first ignited by Cooper-Henretig, and now carried forward through the talent, commitment, and skill of Director Marin and our Clinical Staff.
