Marianne Costales-Roman, LCSW

I have expe­ri­ence with work­ing with school-aged chil­dren and teens with­in the school set­ting and worked for over 15 years in an alter­na­tive school with stu­dents that have social emo­tion­al issues. I have enjoyed edu­cat­ing par­ents on how to par­ent difficult/​challenging chil­dren and pro­vid­ing guid­ance on how to han­dle new­ly placed stu­dents and fam­i­lies in the spe­cial edu­ca­tion sys­tem. My pas­sion is edu­cat­ing peo­ple about men­tal ill­ness and assist­ing them on their jour­ney of self-dis­cov­ery and heal­ing. I feel it has been my call­ing to pro­vide sup­port, edu­ca­tion and empa­thy to peo­ple whom seek ther­a­peu­tic services.

I am a mom of 3 daugh­ters ages 21, 13 and 6 and have been mar­ried for almost 15 years. I enjoy spend­ing time with my fam­i­ly both imme­di­ate and extend­ed. I am an avid true crime read­er and fan of the ID chan­nel. Laugh­ter in my life brings me much joy and self-care is impor­tant to me as a pro­fes­sion­al and a per­son. I tru­ly believe that in order to help oth­ers I need to help myself and make myself a pri­or­i­ty so I can con­tin­ue to pro­vide sup­port and empa­thy to all the peo­ple that are in my life.
