STRENGTHEN YOUR FAMILY BONDS

with Mariana Girala, LMFT

Are you struggling with major life changes (divorce, the birth of a child, grief, immigration)?

Are you concerned with your child's behavior and need to get on the same page with your spouse or co-parent?

Are you feeling hopeless about unresolved conflict and unchanged dysfunctional patterns? 

Sometimes, we find ourselves avoiding important conversations, and things can feel unresolved, burdensome. Therapy gives you a safe space to heal and build trust, and get to the core of issues that may be hindering you from having a loving, and nurturing family life.

WHY WORK WITH ME?

RELATIONSHIP SPECIALIST

Relationships are complex and every family is unique. Working with a professional who specializes in Marriage and Family Therapy allows you to look at  your family relationships as a whole, steering away from blame and judgment, and recognizing how dynamics and patterns are keeping you stuck. Even if your family is going through a divorce, you can work on having a peaceful co-parenting relationship.

EVIDENCE BASED INTERVENTIONS

Anyone can learn to have a great relationship. Evidence based therapies are backed by science and extensive research, such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. With these treatment modalities, I help couples build their communication skills, manage emotions, repair conflict and connect on a deeper level.

MIND-BODY APPROACH

Many couples and families struggle with resentment, anger management, and flooding with negativity. Awareness of the mind-body connection is backed by researchers that scientifically prove the complex links between the mind and body, which you can use to heal. I am trained in Meditation for Everyday Living (Harvard Medical School, 2019) and I utilize guided imagery to support couples who are having difficulties regulating emotions.

MULTICULTURAL AWARENESS

My life experience gave me the sensitivity and understanding of cultural diversity. In my professional career I worked with clients from diverse backgrounds, families dealing with immigration issues and multicultural couples. I speak fluent English, Spanish and Portuguese.

PERSONALIZED ATTENTION

I am strongly committed to providing warm, personalized care to clients who are motivated to change their lives. My priority is that every person who works with me, feels that they have a professional by their side who is available, responsive and caring.
