My treatment methods

Christian Counseling

I integrate Christian counseling to offer both emotional and spiritual support. By incorporating biblical principles alongside evidence-based therapies like CBT, I help clients find healing that aligns with their faith. I guide them through challenges with the wisdom and comfort of scripture, prayer, and Christ’s teachings. My goal is to create a safe space where clients can grow emotionally and spiritually, finding peace, hope, and a deeper connection to their faith while navigating life’s struggles.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based approach that seeks to explore the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It also seeks to uncover and identify deeply held beliefs that may be contributing to an individual's mental health issues.

Faith based therapy

This is an approach that utilizes an individual's faith in the recovery process.

Mario has completely changed my outlook on therapy. I almost gave up until i found him. He is uplifting, empowering, and truly listens to what you are saying and gives feedback that you can actually implement in your life. I am truly grateful for my experience with him thus far and encourage anyone who has been through anything in this walk of life to book with him. you will not regret it.

Mario is a very knowledgeable therapist, who takes the time to care and address the symptoms and issues you're experiencing; then finds a way to assess and help during and until the next session.

Mario let me speak. Let me talk thru the pain and emotions. He hesitated to interject to make sure my thoughts and communications were completed. His insights were simple and really impacted my thought process. .
