More about Marian Formanes, LMFT
Hi, I'm Marian (rhymes with librarian)! I'm a creative Filipino- American Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Registered Art Therapist (ATR) who serves clients throughout California via telehealth. I am committed to being fully present in our work so that you can know that when you feel inadequate, you have someone who is curious to explore that feeling with you rather than prescribe you cookie-cutter wisdom.
My approach
When you have been swept up by emotions, feeling truly understood by others is a foreign experience. In my work with clients, I try my best to come to our sessions with no biases and assumptions, which is a therapeutic approach called person-centered/client-centered. It might look like me asking "how does that fit for you?" or "I'm curious how ___ affected you" after I make an observation or suggest an art prompt. Sometimes you might not know the answer as you aren't used to people considering how what they say affects you, and that's okay. What is important is for us to build that emotional muscle, so that with time you will pause to consider what fits best for you, rather than reacting automatically.
My focus
You are swept up with overthinking and anxiety about turning 30 (and let's face it, also reflecting on the last decade of your life) and it seems unthinkable to ask people in your life to help you because you don't want to burden them. It's been hard for you to risk seeming to not have it all because you having it together is what knitted the fabric of your family together. You are used to people telling you what you should do, yet secretly, your heart is aching for someone to just get it. You don't want to be misunderstood and would like a POC/Asian American/Filipino therapist that has similar lived experience to you
My communication style
Working with me looks like gentle curiosity with accountability.
