Mandi Porras (She/Her)

In play therapy, children engage in various activities like drawing, storytelling, role-playing, or using toys and games to represent their thoughts and emotions. I will create a safe, supportive environment where your child feels free to explore their emotions and experiences without judgment. I will work with your child to help them identify and understand their feelings, explore solutions to challenges, and develop coping strategies.

Ultimately, family systems therapy aims to improve the overall functioning and emotional well-being of the family unit by fostering understanding, healthier communication, and more supportive relationships. I will examine the dynamics, relationships, and interactions within the family unit to better understood the interconnected individuals, where each person's behavior affects and is affected by the others.

I will help couples in traditional and non traditional relationship dynamics navigate communication and connection challenges together. Utilizing my family systems background we can better understand how our individual experiences influence our current relationship. Together we can create new ways to improve the dynamic within the family. I can also work with individuals wanting to improve their relationship experiences.

I will help individuals and couples navigate the unique challenges they face related to their identities, relationships and societal experiences. I will provide a safe, non-judgmental space where they can explore relationships dynamics that impact them. Together we can build understanding of oneself and build resilience and improve self-acceptance.

In therapy, I will work collaboratively with you to develop personalized interventions that address your unique needs and goals. My approach is designed to empower you with effective tools and strategies to manage anxiety and enhance your overall mental well-being, fostering long-term growth and resilience.
