Mariel Chinouyazue-Mason

My communication style

I create a non-judgmental space where you feel understood, supported, and accepted. You can express your thoughts and feelings freely, and leave each session feeling empowered.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to becoming a therapist like most others; I wanted to help others. I especially became interested after seeing what other military members and veterans were experiencing. I was interested in the reasons behind people's behavior. What drives me to do this work is my belief in people and their ability to change.

My goals for you

We work collaboratively to set your therapeutic goals. We'll discuss what you want from therapy, and I'll help you define meaningful goals. We check progress regularly as we continue working together.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss what led you to therapy and any previous therapy experiences you may have had in the past. The first session is to get information about your coping style and what you feel are the reasons you are not where you want to be.
