Welcome to Westside Wellness & Therapy! My name is Mariane Makkar, LCSW and I believe that the success of my clients is their commitment to therapy. This is the client’s biggest accomplishment, beginning something that they likely thought was impossible. I support my clients by helping them reduce the intensity of their symptoms by developing healthy coping skills. Similarly, when clients can set clear, specific goals they become attainable. Self-acceptance is also success for my clients. Once my clients have developed self-acceptance, then they can understand their feelings and emotions.
My role as a therapist establishes a positive and trusting rapport with my clients. This allows to effectively understand a client’s problem and to collaboratively develop a treatment plan. I am resourceful and flexible so clients can be supported in an individualized way based on their goals and needs.
My style is authentic and unique. I enjoy connecting with each client by learning their individual stories. By understanding the client, I can connect them to a specific modality for treatment. I am empathic and caring. My goal is to support each of my clients reflect on their lives and become emotionally strong.
