I serve as the Clinical Director at Candor and Hope Therapy, Inc., a private practice in Northeast Ohio.

My focus is on striving to help individuals, couples, and young adults facing life and relationship challenges. Specializing in premarital counseling, communication and relationship conflicts, anxiety, functional depression, motherhood challenges, and Family Life Cycle Transition troubles, I strive to tailor treatment plans to empower, encourage and heal, one session at time.

Candor and Hope Therapy offers a nurturing environment for open, honest, and nonjudgmental conversations with our clients. We prioritize meeting individuals where they are, providing unwavering support throughout their journey, and celebrating their successes. With us, client build resiliency, let go of baggage that weighs them down and teach them how to “fish” in life. Confidentiality and professional standards are paramount in our practice, except when legal or ethical obligations necessitate disclosure, ensuring the utmost integrity throughout the treatment process.

Reviews

“I am so happy I made the decision to speak with someone regarding my issues. I have found a place where I am safe to speak about my fears, anger and issues that consume me.”

“She makes herself extremely relatable [however] also did not shy away from fostering tough accountability and internal empowerment in my growth and development.”

“I did not expect to get so "comfortable being uncomfortable" in such a short amount of time. Marirhetta approaches our sessions with a perfect balance of professional insight, lived-experience, and cultural relativism."
