As a licensed marriage and family therapist,I will always lead with a client-centered curiosity, believing that each individual possess the innate capacity to become the person they want to be.
My name is Mariana Nogueira, LCSW, and I am a bilingual therapist with over a decade of experience working with individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, immigration, chronic illness, and major life transitions. I received my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Sacramento, and have extensive training in trauma-focused therapies and mindfulness-based approaches.
Over the years, I have worked in hospice care, hospital settings, cancer centers, community mental health, and with immigrant and undocumented communities. These experiences have deeply shaped my commitment to culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy.
I specialize in supporting adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, burnout, identity transitions, or who feel caught between cultures.
I typically work with creatives, the highly sensitive, seekers, and survivors - those navigating grief, shame, anxiety, trauma, and the wild terrain of being human in a world full of paradox. I offer psychotherapy, somatic experiencing, and psychedelic integration virtual therapy for CA and NY residents. If you are feeling stuck and hungry for something more alive, we can begin right where you are - and build from there. Clients can expect to feel more self trust, more empowered to live in alignment with who they are, increased peace in relationships, and encouragement for creativity through working with me. If you are feeling stuck or 'frozen', somatically I work with those features of ADHD to help get movement and productivity sparked in peoples' lives.
I use evidence based interventions. I work with all ages, including couples and families. My goal is to help my clients manage stress, improve relationships, reach self-improvement goals, adjust to major life changes, grief/loss, work stress, parenting, helping families through separation/divorce. I have successfully helped couples save their marriages.
I am a Happy father of five children ranging in ages (26-2) and a happy grandfather. I love what I do and it gives me great joy to see clients lives improve. I am compassionate and caring with all my clients and care about their well being.
