Therapeutic approach
There is no single formula for therapy. The work begins with understanding what you are experiencing, what has shaped you, and what matters to you now.
In the room
Warm and direct. Curious rather than prescriptive. Practical when tools are useful, and spacious when something needs time.
How the work is supported
These approaches offer structure without turning therapy into a rigid protocol. What is used—and when—depends on your needs, goals, and readiness.
Trauma-informed therapy pays attention to safety, trust, choice, pacing, and context. It recognizes that responses which once helped you cope may be creating difficulty now—and approaches that reality with curiosity rather than judgment.
ACT can help you change your relationship with difficult thoughts and feelings so they do not have to direct every decision. The work focuses on flexibility, values, and meaningful action rather than waiting for all discomfort to disappear.
EMDR is a structured trauma therapy that can help people process distressing experiences that remain emotionally active. When appropriate, it is introduced collaboratively and at a pace that supports stability and trust.
What matters most
Therapy is a relationship
Mariah brings warmth, curiosity, honesty, and a grounded presence to the work. You do not need to perform, arrive with the right words, or separate the clinical issue from the rest of your life.
