Intro

Hi! I'm Marianna Nunez ( Mari) and I am a licensed professional counselor in Florida, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. I specialize in working with those who have experienced trauma. I like to explore and focus on what we can do within our own strengths to improve our self confidence and daily experience.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

Over my 30 years of mental health work, I have seen neurodivergent individuals be misunderstood and often misguided in therapy interventions. I observed to defeating attitudes of those who do not take differences into account. I am an active listener and often hear what others miss.  I have a variety of creative strategies to share for healthy and effective living.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I love working with people and learning of their life perspectives.  My parents were licensed foster parents and I grew up in a home where differences were shared and celebrated. We supported one another in our different learning styles and life experiences. I want to continue to support others and help them use their natural strengths and abilities to celebrate and flourish in their life.
