Holistic Psychotherapy and MARI
Understand Yourself More Deeply Through Mind-Body-Spirit Therapy and the Mandala Assessment
Do you feel disconnected from yourself or unsure of your life's purpose?
Do the same patterns or beliefs keep holding you back, even when you know they no longer serve you?
Are you looking for an approach to growth that brings mind, body and spirit together?
Are you curious about what symbols and colors can reveal about your unconscious patterns and emotional states?
Holistic psychotherapy looks at the whole person. Drawing on insight-oriented, Jungian and mindfulness-based practices, we explore your thoughts, emotions and patterns, find strengths you may not see in yourself, and connect your daily life with what matters most to you. For many clients this work also has a spiritual side, and there is room for that in our sessions.
What is MARI?
In a MARI session, you choose from a set of symbols and colors. Together we explore what your choices reveal about your unconscious patterns, emotional states and developmental stages. MARI can be part of a full psychological assessment or a standalone experience for personal growth.
MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument) is based on Jungian psychology and has a solid theoretical basis. It was first created by Joan Kellogg, an art therapist, in the 1980s. It was further developed by Michele “Shelley” Takei into the current version used today. I was personally trained by one of Shelley’s co-teachers in 2010 and have been using MARI as a part of my standard psychotherapy assessment and as a complete MARI experience immersion.
