About
Mariah Chagnon
Conflict within ourselves and our relationships can feel exhausting and isolating. Sometimes it can feel as though we are powerless or stuck waiting for other people or our environment to change.
I believe growth is always possible when people feel strong support as they address unhelpful patterns and narratives. By deeply respecting how experiences affect clients, I seek to empower them to exercise more influence and agency in their lives and relationships.
​
I specialize in trauma and relationships and focus therapy sessions toward client goals tailoring treatment to the strengths of each client. I am passionate about growth during life stressors, from the overwhelm of everyday life and transitions, to generational patterns and significant life events.
