Marco Fanara, Registered Psychotherapist

Evening and weekend availability

As a therapist, I strive to create a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings. I believe in the importance of fostering a strong therapeutic alliance built on trust and empathy. My approach is integrative, drawing on techniques from cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and psychodynamic frameworks, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I am particularly passionate about working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I am committed to helping them develop coping strategies that empower them to take control of their narratives.

My chosen path of expertise is in the field of Eating Disorders, having trained under Jennifer White from Paragon Psychological Services.
