Getting to know Mara Donadio
I work with individuals seeking support for a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. My approach begins with meeting each client where they are, to create a supportive and emotionally safe space. From there, I help my clients better understand their experiences, process difficult emotions, overcome personal challenges, and to take meaningful steps in valued life directions.
My training at Columbia University provided a strong foundation in evidence-based, client-centered care that continues to inform my work today. I tailor therapy to each client’s unique needs and goals, integrating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and mindfulness-based practices to support meaningful, lasting change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
When we begin working together, my priority is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and able to be yourself. We’ll take time to understand the experiences that have shaped your life while staying focused on the challenges you’re facing today. Throughout the process, we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, with the goal of helping you find meaningful relief, greater clarity, and lasting change.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Once you request an appointment with me, I will personally reach out to get us set up for our first session. I truly look forward to meeting you!

I was really excited for this appointment as it can be difficult to find an in person therapist and Mara seemed highly qualified with great reviews. They require a phone consultation before your first session. The session you book in Zoc doc may not be the time or date available as “the system is not updated with their schedule”. And you must have a phone consultation before the first scheduled session. They also require you to participate in therapy on a weekly or more frequent basis and are not accommodating to travel/ having to cancel a session. I’m sure Mara is a great therapist, but unfortunately I would not recommend this practice and definitely not booking them through zoc doc as it doesn’t seem their systems are connected properly, and if you are looking for flexibility with your sessions this is not the practice for you.
