Tess Marano

I work with children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, stress, and other emotional or developmental challenges. I am particularly interested in supporting young people whose mental health affects their engagement with school and/or everyday life. My background in educational psychology allows me to understand how emotional, social, behavioral, and academic experiences intersect and influence one another. This may mean working through anxiety or low mood, building confidence, navigating friendships, managing school-related stress, or developing healthier ways to cope.

I want therapy to be a space where clients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and showing up as themselves. Together, we can make sense of what you’re experiencing, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and develop strategies that feel practical and meaningful.

My goal is to help young people better understand themselves, build on their strengths, and feel more confident navigating the challenges in front of them. If this sounds like something you or your child would benefit from, please reach out to me for a free 15-minute consultation!
