Do you notice patterns of behaviors that you are unsatisfied with? Therapy is a significant step towards working through and facing life's most difficult challenges. I have worked with adults, adolescents and children treating issues of adjustment, self-doubt, mood swings, trauma and anxiety attacks. When you approach the therapeutic process with curiosity, you can grow, heal, and thrive.
I am a clinical psychotherapist with almost a decade of experience working with couples and adults who want to better understand themselves, and work towards creating the lives and relationships they crave. I am passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, their hopes, and their autonomy. I specialize in relational/marital challenges, anxiety, grief, addiction, eating disorders, and trauma.
Mario's experience in concert dance, movement healing, Neurosomatic Intelligence, catholic upbringing and curanderismo, makes Mario an ideal therapist for people looking to strengthen their relationship between Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Mario has worked with performing artists, adolescents, couples, immigrant families, older adults and QTBIPOC, in English, Spanish & Spanglish, addressing symptoms of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma. Mario's approach is pluralistic, body-centered and spiritually-sensitive.
I've worked successfully with race-and class-diverse, LGBT and straight clients from teens to seniors. Many are new to NYC or in other life transitions. Clients come with anxiety, identity issues, relationship or work problems, trouble managing anger...My style is warm yet analytical, and interactive. I encourage laughter! I find that people want to understand themselves, break free from self-damaging patterns, and live more fully--and joyfully.
