Mariana joined our team in July of 2023 and has been a great addition to our wonderful team! She sees adolescent and adult patients and offers services in both English and Spanish. Mariana is a recent graduate who earned her BA in psychology at SIU Carbondale and went on to earn her Master's degree at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology with a concentration in Latinx Mental Health. Mariana recently completed her internship at El Circulo. The Circle Resource Center located in Brighton Park where she provided women in the community virtual sessions during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mariana has also joined the TCFMH team, a nonprofit organization founded by Dr. Guada. She says that being able to give back to the community is very important to her stating, “ I’m very excited to work with the community as well as to be a resource that I wish I and my family had when I was younger”. Mariana says growing up on the southwest side of Chicago traveling to La Villita was always a way to stay connected to her culture and is looking forward to working hand in hand with the community. Mariana believes the impact relationships and one’s community have on a person’s well being and self esteem are just as important as collaborative partnership between patient and therapist, therefore she uses an integrative relational psychotherapeutic approach with her clients.

Mariana’s time outside of work is spent with her family and exploring the outdoors with her dogs. She enjoys spending time discovering new places with them and creating memories along the way. Although she is no professional, she enjoys taking pictures capturing those moments.
