Marian Formanes, Art Therapist, MFT

My clients describe me as:

Good listener, empathetic, creative, “out-of-the-box-thinking”, and lighthearted at times

Something to know about my approach is:

I guide those that struggle with being true to their heart and feel restricted by fear and shame, familial pressures, cultural expectations, emotional sensitivity, or comparing themselves to others.

Together, we will:

Explore with curiosity, not judgement, the hand life has dealt you, increase your ability to communicate your needs clearly, gain clarity in your unique values, and allow you to "show up" the way you want to show up in life

I specialize in working with people who:

are creatives and creatives-at-heart, helpers and caregivers, and those with Filipino/immigrant backgrounds.

More about me and my practice:

I believe healing comes from a positive connection where each person involved has an essential part in moving the journey forward. I encourage those I work with to develop their voice and strengths.
