Hi, my name is Maria Mangiardi, and I hold an LCPC license. My approach to therapy is looking at the total mind, body, and spirit of a person and how all areas of life can affect mental health. I specialize in a variety of areas, such as Anxiety, Depression, LGBTQ, and OCD, to name a few. I look at the totality of a person because I find that possible medical issues, relationship issues, and environmental influences can be a factor. I typically work with adults over the age of 18. I have many clients that question their life relationships, stressors, and internal struggles.
I provide a trusting, compassionate, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you can relax and feel at ease to share your issues. I find being a therapist comes naturally to me. My willingness to listen, be compassionateempathic, general understanding and intuitive personality speak my truth. The smiles from my happy clients keep me wanting to share more smiles and happiness through difficult times. If you choose to set goals, then we can talk about what you would like to accomplish in a realistic time frame.
The first session is where I like to gather information about any medications you are taking, any medical issues present, and what is bringing you to therapy.
