Getting to know Mariko Ghanem
My name is Mariko Ghanem, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Pepperdine University. Naturally curious and eager to learn, I have pursued certifications as a Domestic Violence Advocate, Emergency Medical Technician, and Dialectical Behavior Therapist. I truly care for all my clients and go above and beyond to help them find the answers they seek.
My approach to therapy is strengths-based and multi-faceted. I believe effective treatment requires both technical expertise and creativity, allowing for a customized and flexible approach tailored to each client. I draw on concepts from existential, humanistic, systems, and behavior theories. My therapy techniques focus on empowering people to find meaning and purpose in their lives, make authentic choices that foster personal growth, and become more liberated, self-aware, and secure in their understanding of themselves and the world.
I create a space where clients can express themselves freely and be met with compassion. I believe there is more going right with a person than wrong. Together, we explore and build on the strengths and supports you already have as you work through the issues that brought you to therapy.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
