Next Chapter Counseling is a private practice run by Mara Capello, LICSW. Here I focus on Narrative Therapy to help those working through a history of trauma, addiction, depression, or anxiety. The ideal client for NCC is someone who wants to work on how the events in their past such as abuse, neglect and violence affect their future. Narrative work helps people to understand their own story and to work to find new narratives within their history so that they can change their lives going forward.

My practice focuses on working with individuals who have substance use problems, have become dependent on alcohol or other drugs to cope with life's challenges, or have been deeply affected by substance use.

One of my favorite sayings is "curiosity replaces judgement".

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to understand your own story. In therapy with me I prioritize our therapeutic alliance, while we work on your goals, as I understand how vulnerable and unique the therapy relationship is. I do this by using a warm and empathetic approach and honoring that trust gets built slowly over time. I also try to bring in humor when appropriate and further allow my clients to feel like an equal partner in their treatment. I know there is no one size fits all to therapy and I want to make sure you and your unique needs are at the forefront of our work together.

I understand that life presents us with numerous obstacles and taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming.

As a Christian Counselor, the Bible is always the backdrop of the conversation. Nothing about human behavior shocks me. However, God is all about second chances and reconciliation and I love to be a part of the healing process.

Relationships are a quintessential part of the human experience. While they can be a source of deep hurt and pain, they also can be a source of tremendous healing and enrichment that reinforce our sense of self and our sense of belonging. Sometimes in our relationships we feel stuck or trapped in the same recurring conflict. We lose sight of what we cherish and instead zoom in on what is missing. As disconnection grows, so do our emotional walls. We need to know in our relationships that our partners are there for us, that we can depend on and access our partners when in need. That we are valued and accepted flaws and all.

I am currently accepting clients for group therapy (openings Fall 2024) and individual therapy. The group is for adults who have (or may have) experienced trauma during childhood and are considering any of the following questions: Even though I have difficult childhood memories, was it really that bad? Was it right how my parents treated me (what they did and/or did not do)? Was it right what they led me to believe about myself, about our family, and about how to interact in relationships? Did my childhood experience leave me with emotional and relational difficulties that have significant negative consequences in my present life?

My greatest intention in working with you is to create an environment in which you feel truly seen and heard. I see this as a natural path towards assisting you in learning to witness yourself more regularly and breaking away from patterns of self-abandonment. I aim to help you decondition from disempowering beliefs that may be leading you to make behavioral choices out of fear, anxiety and shame and instead guide you towards being able to behave from a place of authenticity, self-trust, self acceptance, and genuine capacity-all of which ultimately serves to help you experience improved emotional regulation in the long term.

It can take tremendous courage and vulnerability to ask for help. If you're reading this, we'd like to take a moment to honor your strength in taking this first step in pursuing something better for yourself or your family. We promise: you're worth it!
