Trauma Healing Therapy

"Dr. Mariella is truly amazing in her work with clients. I’ve had the pleasure of working with her as a colleague and not only is she clinically skilled, especially in trauma focused work, but as a person she is so kind and empathetic which translates very well in her rapport with clients. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any client seeking support in healing trauma wounds."

"Mariella is a trusted colleague of mine and I am very grateful our career paths crossed. She is extremely gifted at her craft, warm, encouraging, and empathetic. Over the past few years, I confidently made many referrals to her for both individual and couple counseling, and all my clients reported they felt heard and understood by her. They also reported that they could immediately see how passionate and knowledgeable she is and that they were very lucky to have found somebody they could trust. Mariella takes her time to get to the bottom of the problem and truly work with her clients to resolve the problems and healing. She works with trauma in a very compassionate and authentic way and gently help her clients to overcome their struggles. I would describe her as a kind and deeply caring therapist. She has a powerful ability to "tune-in" to what clients are experiencing and help guide a process of healing and understanding. Mariella is an amazing, empowering, and inspirational individual and I highly recommend for you to try this transformational journey with her and find out yourself! You'll not regret it!!!"

"Mariella stands out from the crowd as a compassionate, well-versed trauma therapist! We have worked together collaboratively on multiple occasions and I have consistently found her to be insightful, knowledgeable and empathic. She has a gentle yet firm nature that is both comforting and appropriately challenging. The way she brings a balance to these energies is inspiring as a provider and highly effective in supporting clients move toward desired change and healing in their lives. I would recommend Mariella a million times over and have found it a true pleasure to work with her."

"Dr. Lauriola is warm, compassionate, knowledgeable and responsive. She really values investing in her clients and in her training. In our clinical consultations, she is insightful and offers her expertise on trauma informed and EMDR care. Our interactions always feel enriching!"

"Mariella is a kind, caring, and skilled psychologist. I worked with her as the trauma informed yoga instructor while she was the lead clinician of a supportive housing program, and I saw how she cultivated a holistic yet scientifically backed program for well-rounded healing. Mariella is extremely skilled in her work, not only does she hold multiple psychology degrees, but she also continues to enhance her academic training by studying different empirically backed trauma healing methods such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and trauma-informed yoga. Mariella has a warm loving presence who knows when to hold silence, ask questions, or when to share a hug. I highly recommend Mariella, especially for women, couples, or those working through trauma of any kind (immediate or in the past). -Arielle Limberis, MA RYT500"
