Getting to know Mariana Machaen

Hablo Español. I support people, families, and couples who experience depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, low self-esteem, and people who identify as neurodivergent and/or have Autism Spectrum Disorder. I strive to support people who yearn to rediscover for them what makes life worth it. I also strive to support people who want to rekindle a fire within them, especially for passions like music, art, sports, etc.. I also strive to provide a healing space where one can let go of impactful life experiences, such as trauma, that they carry with them. I strive to challenge norms and harmful expectations that plague one's self-worth.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I invite nature, music, art, and loved ones (even animals) into therapy. With compassion, I hope to empower you in building confidence in navigating life and rekindle self-love and admiration for yourself. I also practice decolonial healing therapy, challenging colonial western ideologies while inviting healing practices from people’s diverse communities.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Having entered therapy due to personal experience with mental health conditions, I acknowledge that recovery and growth take time and experimentation. I also ensure to be someone that is humble, kind, and open to hearing your input on your needs. If you feel that what I shared resonates with you, I’m honored to take steps together.
