About Me
Mara provides therapy both online and in person. She can provide therapy in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.
​
Mara's openness and warmth allow her to connect with individuals of different backgrounds. During the first session of therapy, the client is evaluated and given an opportunity to discuss concerns and challenges. Mara acts as a guide during sessions by asking the client questions that shed light on the client's perspective. After establishing mutually beneficial treatment objectives, Mara and her client move forward with their therapy. Mara applies a Triple-S approach of Structure, Support and Self-Empowerment to help her clients progress.
Therapy with Mara
Structure
Mara focuses on practical present-day techniques while also comprehending and processing the client's past in order to help them reach their therapeutic goals. She creates a comfortable environment free of judgment where clients can share their struggles and find solutions. Clients may require weekly, monthly, or annual sessions, depending on presentation and personal preferences.
Support
Through psychotherapy and emotional support, Mara helps people who need to heal to heal after the end of a love relationship or the loss of a loved one. Mara assists them with the tools and resources to recover. The result is that clients find love again; they understand themselves much better and attract everything they desire and deserve in life.
Self-empowerement
Mara's ultimate goal is for her clients to become their own therapists, and she helps them get there by teaching them skills for coping with problems that come up during therapy and for mending old hurts via self-awareness, compassion, and corrective experiences.
