My name is Mariana Chacon and I work with adults and teens, and I specialize in anxiety, self-esteem, trauma, and LGBTQIA+ concerns. I find it to be a privilege to not only to witness but to offer a safe and inviting space of support as another’s story is shared. My approach is warm, friendly, patient, and compassionate, and trauma-informed with some humor sprinkled into the mix when appropriate. I aim to help you feel more connected to yourself and your emotions, gain clarity on areas where you may feel stuck, learn practical tools to help deal with feeling

overwhelmed, explore new avenues forward, build your confidence, and develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself. I am intensively trained in DBT. Whether it’s your first or fifth time, taking this step forward is not easy, but when you feel ready, I’d be honored to join you on your journey for as long as you need..
