Mari helps me focus on my core values and make decisions based on those, rather than being influenced by fear, shame, or guilt. This has opened me up so much! She also taught me a whole lot about generational trauma and being a woman of color in a caretaker/clinician role, and how each of these makes me prioritize myself last, leading to burnout. This has helped me focus more on self-care without guilt. Her talent and compassion combo make her an effective therapist! I feel lucky to have found her!
VERIFIED PATIENT TESTIMONIAL

Hi there, I'm Mari (Marylou Garabiles)!

I focus on improving mental health for communities of color, immigrant communities, and anti-racist allies. My specialties include stress management and burnout prevention for teachers, healthcare workers, and social services professionals, as well as addictions, children of narcissists, and women with late-diagnosed ADHD.

My focus

I work with clients of color, children of immigrants, and anti-racist allies, with a focus on professionals in healthcare, social services, and education. I am most comfortable working with anxiety, ADHD, depression, severe stress, and trauma symptoms.

My approach

I commonly use CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Somatic Therapy in my work. These approaches help you build practical skills to manage distress while honoring your unique strengths and values.
