Marianna Chiokan
LMHC, LCPC, CGT
I offer a compassionate and inclusive space to explore your challenges, deepen self-awareness, and uncover pathways to growth and fulfillment.
Approach
Working from a psychodynamic framework, I help clients uncover and understand habitual patterns, while also integrating somatic approaches to strengthen the mind-body connection, release trauma, and support emotional regulation. I draw on experiential methods to foster creativity, authenticity, and presence.
I work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds and relational experiences and strive to create a welcoming and affirming space for all identities and paths of love.
Background
Throughout my early life, I was deeply shaped by multicultural experiences and have always placed great value on learning about diverse cultures and traditions.
My early fascination with human psychology and unconscious processes, sparked during college, continues to drive my commitment to learning and integrating the most progressive therapeutic modalities.
Drawing from a diverse background, I’ve integrated these experiences into my private practice; tailoring my approach to best serve the individual needs of my clients.
