Marianela Villalta Canales

My communication style

My therapeutic style is gentle, engaging, attentive, and respectful. I encourage you to explore and be curious about what you want and who you want to be. Within our therapeutic space, you will find your own answers, inner wisdom, serenity, and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I developed an interest in becoming a therapist from personally experiencing the power of the therapeutic process to promote healing, mental clarity, and transformation. I entered the field to support others finding their way toward a more peaceful and empowered sense of self.

My goals for you

I encourage you to have self-agency and actively participate in setting your own goals as well as continually evaluate your progress. My approach is to collaborate step by step with you in the process of identifying and achieving your goals.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity to start developing trust and rapport. We will discuss the issues you are experiencing so we can determine whether we are a good fit to continue working together. My goal is that you experience being seen, heard, and acknowledged.
