“Mariah was amazing, as soon as you sit down with her you can feel that she is ready to help and truly cares. Took a bit for my son to open up as it was his first appt, but when left he said “mom she is so cool”. Looking forward to working with her and getting the resources for my seven year old.”

Getting to know Mariah Brandon

Mariah Brandon, MSW, is a warm and trauma-informed therapist who supports children, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, big feelings, trauma, and life transitions. Her approach is steady, collaborative, and developmentally attuned. Mariah creates a safe space for kids to express themselves, partners closely with caregivers, and helps older clients build insight and practical coping skills.

What should a new client know about working with you?

You or your child can expect a calm, supportive space where there’s no pressure to share more than feels comfortable. I move at your pace and focus strongly on safety and trust. With children, I use developmentally appropriate approaches and collaborate with caregivers so everyone feels supported. With teens and young adults, I provide steady, non-judgmental guidance as we explore emotions and patterns together. My goal is to help you or your child feel understood, grounded, and empowered throughout the process.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first sessions focus on understanding your story—whether it’s your own or your child’s—and identifying what support would feel most helpful. From there, we collaborate on developing coping tools, exploring emotions and experiences, and noticing patterns in relationships, school, family life, or daily stress. I integrate interpersonal, person-centered, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioral approaches. We revisit goals together to make sure care stays aligned and helpful.
