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 Clinical Psychology 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. I believe there is more going right with a person than wrong. Together, we explore the strengths and supports you already have as you work on the issues that brought you to therapy. My approach My approach to therapy is strengths-based and multi-faceted. I believe effective treatment requires both technical expertise and creativity, allowing a customized and flexible approach for each client. I draw on concepts from existential, humanistic, systems, and behavioral theories. My therapy techniques focus on empowering people to find meaning and purpose in their lives, make authentic choices to foster personal growth, and reach their full potential. I encourage clients to explore their feelings, anxieties, uncertainties, and past experiences to become more liberated, self-aware, and secure in their understanding of themselves and the world. My focus I have worked with a variety of individuals, couples, and families facing circumstances unique to their lives. My professional experience includes treating anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, childhood abuse, parenting difficulties, low self-esteem, occupational issues, communication problems, and many other life challenges. Due to my training, I have specialty knowledge working with first responders and victims of interpersonal/domestic violence, as well as personality disorders, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation.
