Maria Marcano

Hello! I am a Graduate intern at Lyon Counseling and a Board-certified health coach with many years of experience in mindfulness-based stress-reducing therapies. I understand that seeking counseling is a courageous step, and I honor your decision by creating a warm and supportive space for exploration. If you are feeling the strain of a busy life, whether it’s stress and burnout, anxiety, health-related worries, inner conflict, disconnection from your emotional life, or navigating transitions, you are in the right place. Working with me can help you build resilience, get clarity, and find hope. Being fluent in Spanish and English, I also support those maneuvering the complexities of living between cultures as an immigrant or adult child of immigrants. My approach is rooted in compassion and mindfulness, which I see as foundations for health and self-discovery. I holistically integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you care for the different “parts” of yourself and somatic practices that bring renewal to your nervous system. This whole-person approach can help with inner peace, releasing stress, building resilience, and creating a sense of wholeness and connection. I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with empowering tools and deep respect for your goals and pace. Outside the office, I enjoy books, practicing yoga and tennis, going to the beach, hiking, and attending art and personal development events. Let's connect.
