Getting to know Marilou Fonti

As a mental health counselor, I help adults navigate anxiety, stress, perfectionism and overwhelm, people-pleasing, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Many of the patients I work with look like they have everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from themselves or others on the inside. Together, we can explore what's underneath those feelings, understand the patterns holding you back, and work toward feeling more grounded, confident, and reconnected with who you are. I strongly believe in each person's ability to learn, grow, and heal, and that belief shapes me into a compassionate, collaborative, and supportive partner in your care. You do not have to navigate this alone — I look forward to helping you feel truly seen, understood, and more deeply connected to your authentic self as you create space for your own healing. I would be honored to support you in your journey.

What should a new client know about working with you?

DISCLAIMER: We are not able to accept Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time. My path to becoming a therapist began with my own experience as a patient during a stressful time in my life. I initially sought therapy hoping to gain coping skills, but came away with so much more, unlearning limiting beliefs, reconnecting with my values, and feeling hope again. This experience deepened my commitment to providing warm, compassionate, relational care, and I bring that same warmth, empathy, authenticity, and belief in the healing process to each session with you.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I believe therapy should be a warm, collaborative space where you feel truly seen, understood, and supported. Helping patients reconnect with their authentic selves, understand deep-seated patterns, and live more closely aligned with their values is something I'm deeply passionate about, work that leads toward meaningful, sustainable change and true healing. Together, we create a compassionate, judgment-free, relational, and tailor-made environment, shaped by an integrative, person-centered, and strengths-based, trauma-informed approach. My goal is to meet you where you are with empathy and flexibility so you feel more grounded, understand yourself more deeply, and break free of patterns that no longer serve you.
