“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.

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.

~Connie, parent of client
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."
