MARYANA NEWTON, LCMHC-A, LCAS-A, ATR-P

I am a holistic therapist with a background in art therapy and neurobiology. Together we approach whatever problem you bring to the table with empathy, understanding, and humor. My goals in therapy are to help you understand more about your own drives, find ways to increase your connections with others, and make changes to your life that feel true to your nature. I often work well with individuals who are struggling with a history of trauma or those who are looking to bring lasting change into their lives.  

I am a trained artist and pull these skills into my work. I am also passionate about neurobiology. I tie these two seemingly different (though they are not that different) approaches together to help you uncover the tools you have to change. I have a sense of humor and enjoy bringing levity into my work. I am also finding that I truly enjoy working with the kiddos. They bring a level of challenge, joy, and excitement to individual work that I find thoroughly enjoyable.  

I have a Masters degree in clinical counseling and art therapy. I am also trained EMDR and am a certified clinical trauma professional. I am also trained in art therapy with a focus on interpersonal neurobiology. I am training as an addictions therapist. I pull upon Jungian and Adlerian modalities for my therapeutic approach.
