Mario Uribe, MS, LMFT Associate

My Values

Whether working with individual clients, couples or families, I place a high value on respecting the individuality of those I serve. I strive not to “impose” myself on clients, but instead “walk with” people on their own journeys toward wellness, success, or whatever they may seek.

While much of my clinical experience involves working with mood and anxiety-related disturbances, relationship problems, life adjustments, and addictions and compulsions, among other areas, my specialization in working with couples and parents within autism, ADHD and other “special needs” families is inspired by my own experience as a husband and father of a special needs child, and my understanding of the unique challenges faced by such families.

Couples Counseling

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapist and I believe we are all born with the need to connect with others, to experience a sense of belonging and to know we matter to those who matter most to us.  Couples often experience negative patterns of interaction that leave them feeling quite the opposite - misunderstood, frustrated and even lonely.

EDUCATION

I attained my BA degree from St. Mary’s University, Texas, and my MS in Clinical Counseling (Marriage and Family Therapy) from Cal State University, Long Beach (CA), and am a certified Positive Discipline educator. In addition to my clinically-oriented education, my past professional experience extends to corporate consultant and management work in the area of Employee Relations.
