“Sometimes in the waves
of change we find our
true direction.”

At Mareas, we believe that together we can help you and your family navigate
through the changing tides of life with courage and integrity.

Welcome To Mareas

The name Mareas (ma-ray-us) is derived from the Latin term for Tides/Waves. Having a deep affinity for the ocean, and the life-sustaining, healing, and playful properties of the ocean both physically and mentally, the name seemed a natural fit for the work we do. Families are fluid and forever changing and we often ride the emotional waves of each of the stages.

Mareas Therapeutic Services for Children & Families recognizes that from time to time, everyone including all families, needs support. Our team is here to help you find healing, meaning and resolution to life’s challenges.

Core Values

Mareas is committed to providing nurturing and dedicated support to individuals, children, youth, adults and families during difficult periods to help them get back on course.

What Our Clients Are Saying

When we were paired with our therapist, there was an immediate comfort and connection which helped my daughter reflect on and build skills for handling situations she couldn't before. This also helped me as I was using the supports to reflect on her experience and mine as a parent in the situation. The whole team is so flexible and inviting and they engage in collaboration and problem solving to meet the needs of our entire family. I am so happy we have found this support for our family.

~Karen, client & parent

I have been utilizing Mareas' services for many months. The staff is incredible and the environment is nurturing and caring. Each location of Mareas has a welcoming space that makes you feel relaxed and calm. The Mareas team has been a wonderful addition to our community!

~Connie, parent of client

I am grateful that the therapist that we have came into our lives. My teenage son was dealing with so much anxiety, and as a parent you cannot always help those you only want to love and protect. She did not simply listen to him. She taught him skills to help him cope with situations, which is exactly what he needed and wanted. He connected with her right away and was comfortable opening up to her.

While there is no quick fix for those who deal with too much anxiety, I know he is on the right track to being generally happier in life. There is nothing like hearing your child say "I feel weird...I'm actually happy."
