I have extensive experience working with people of all ages in the creative fields, young adults lost at a crossroad in their life.
Each client is an individual which requires not a one size fits all treatment approach. I have over 10 years of prescribing experience in inpatient and outpatient settings and unde4rstand that not every person requires the same treatment plan. I also provide MAT, ie, suboxone, vivitrol, naltrexone for Opioid Use Disorder and Alcohol Use Disorder in a non judgmental private setting.
I strive to create a safe, supportive therapeutic environment that encourages healing and growth for my clients.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I hold my Masters degree from Alliance Graduate School of Counseling.
I have clinical experience treating individuals, couples, adolescents, children and families. I have treated various mental health disorders, such as, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, trauma, eating disorders, OCD and PTSD as well as couple and family conflict.
I have been trained in expressive arts therapy and is a certified gestalt therapist. I utilizes the arts according to each person’s abilities to imagine and develop body awareness. My eclectic approach suits people who seek to find themselves in mental health. As a blind Japanese immigrant, I work especially well with differently-abled people and Pan Asians.
I work with artists of all backgrounds regarding struggles around creativity and self expression. I offer an affirming, safe space for people who identify as POC and LGBTQIA+ to explore their identities and deconstruct their own narrative within the larger lens of society. I treat both individuals, and couples, ranging from ages 15-40+.
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.
I work with people who are stuck at certain crossroads in their life. Typically, the external problems seem to solve themselves once therapy reaches a certain point. This applies to work, relationships, life goals, and creative pursuits. My job is to help you transform mental or physical pain into something that is bearable and makes life worth living.
I work with a wide range of clients.
I welcome any questions you have. Feel free to give me a call or email with any questions you have about starting therapy.
