Hello, I'm Mariana—a counsellor with a foundation in psychology that’s deeply rooted in neuroscience and epigenetics. What sets my practice apart is this unique blend of empathy and science. It allows me to offer support that's not only compassionate but also grounded in the latest research on how our minds and bodies work together. Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, I spent 20 years fully dedicated to psychological and neuroscience research, exploring how early-life experiences shape a person's vulnerability or resilience to mental health challenges. In 2018, I transitioned into clinical practice, beginning with training in Systemic (relationship-focused) counselling. This path later led me to complete full certification in Cognitive Behavioral Psychotherapy (CBT), allowing me to integrate both relational and evidence-based approaches in my work with clients.
