Bianca Marino
I believe that each person has the power to create a life that feels worthwhile to them. My work is to support you in navigating the internal and external obstacles that get in the way of that. Whether you are healing from trauma, challenging relationships, systemic oppression, difficult internal narratives, loss, substance abuse, or other issues that drive disconnection between you and your truest self, I will work to help you develop the coping skills and strategies that work for you. Together, we will establish a therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust and transparency to create a space where your authentic self is welcome, safe, and accepted.

What I'm Like as a Therapist
As a clinical social worker, my work is informed by my understanding of the impacts that societal, historical, and environmental systems have on mental health. I am guided by my values of anti-oppression, trauma-informed care, and unconditional positive regard. My goal is for each client to feel seen, heard, accepted, and challenged in ways that promote healing and growth.
Personal Interests
I love spending time with my family and friends, taking my dog on nature walks and hikes, camping, traveling, dancing, playing music (guitar, ukulele, banjo, singing), glitter, roller skating, running, yoga, cooking, and trying out different forms of arts and crafts. Social and environmental justice are very important to me, and I love getting involved in my community.
