MARLANA CANNATA, LPC — Therapist in New Jersey

Hi there, I'm MARLANA!

I am passionate about helping people through their challenges so that they may heal and experience growth in their lives.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals who experience depression, work and social stressors, life transitions, PTSD, and comorbid issues, including alcohol and substance use dependency.

My approach

My approach is person-centered. I will meet you with unconditional positive regard and remain nonjudgmental to foster a trusting environment. I frequently use CBT, MI, and Person-Centered modalities.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, personable, and accommodating. I like to create an environment where my clients can share anything while I remain nonjudgmental and present with them on their healing journey.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been drawn to helping people. People naturally confide in me and know that I am here to help them. I enjoy seeing people heal and strive to be the best they can be.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting is to work together with you. It starts with building trust and understanding what therapy is about. Through the process, we will set goals together and track your progress.

Our first session

The first session is about building trust and a connection. We will spend the time helping me understand the issues you would like to work on, so we can decide together on the next best steps.
