Dona Herrera
My name is Mariko Ghanem and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. I am naturally curious and love to learn which has lead me to pursuing certifications as a Domestic Violence Advocate, Emergency Medical Technician and Dialectical Behavior Therapist. I truly care for all my clients and go above and beyond to help them find the answers they seek. My approach to therapy is strengths-based and multi-faceted. I believe that providing effective treatment requires both technical expertise and creativity that allows a customized and flexible approach to each client. I draw on concepts from existential, humanistic, systems and behavior theories. My therapy techniques focus on empowering people to find meaning and purpose in their lives, make authentic choices to foster personal growth and to become more liberated, self-aware and secure in their understanding of themselves and the world. I foster a place for clients to express themselves freely and be met with compassion. I believe that there is more going right with a person than wrong. We work together finding and exploring the strengths and supports that you already have as you work on the issues that brought you to therapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, we will discuss what therapy means to you and how I can best support you in reaching your goals utilizing my extensive education and training on the mind, behavior and what it means to be human. I recognize each client has a deeply personal world of existence within them, and at every session I will provide for you a space of empathy, transparency and support to invite me into your personal world. We will encounter each other as genuine human beings and co-create a space filled with trust, safety, authenticity and mutual respect.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My lifelong curiosity and introspection has guided my journey toward becoming a therapist. I have always been deeply interested in understanding human nature, how different experiences influence personality and life trajectories, and why our thoughts contain so much power over how we perceive the world. Through my own personal and transformative experience in therapy, I know what it’s like being on the other side, taking a risk and trusting someone with vulnerable parts of yourself. My passion is to assist others in overcoming challenges, improving their mental health, and achieving personal growth.
