Marianna "Mare" Hiles
Therapist Details
As the rainbow sheep from a wealthy, white suburb, I have grown happily accustomed to shutting up, sitting down, listening, and always seeking to learn. If I’m not reading or watching a story, I’m either creating one or listening to somebody else’s. Two decades-worth of being a writer, nerd, and theater kid has taught me about the uniqueness of every story. Similarly, defying uniform standards for the pockets and for the astounded look on peoples’ faces at Catholic high school was a formative experience in my understanding of the power of gender, sexuality, and religious skepticism.
My therapeutic approach is a lot like me and probably like you too: eclectic, creative, colorful, compassionate, and always a work in progress. In more clinical terms, I bring the lenses of narrative, acceptance and commitment, relational-cultural, feminist, dialectical behavioral, and humanist therapies into the counseling space. I primarily work with adults as well as older adolescents. I am especially interested in working with queer and gender-diverse populations, religious disaffiliates and those with adverse religious experiences, and nerdy/geeky folks.
