MARTE MARINI
(They/them)
Counselor & Art Therapist
I've my BFA in art education with a Drawing Minor at Kendall College of Art & Design (2013) & attended Wayne State University (2021) for my MA in Clinical Mental Health with a specialization in Art Therapy. Becoming a therapist felt like a natural way to integrate my love of art with my passion for helping others grow in their personal lives.
I believe everyone has the capacity to heal if they have the awareness & willingness to change. Help folks reconnect with these qualities through examining connections between past patterns & current behaviors through art creation & more traditional therapeutic techniques is deeply meaningful to me.
Theories that have inspired me include:
Narrative therapy, Dialectical behavioral therapy, Internal family systems, & Motivational Interviewing
