As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. My professional background centers on addressing stress, anxiety, family conflicts, and interpersonal challenges with a compassionate, culturally responsive approach.
I bring a deep understanding of communication barriers, attachment dynamics, and emotional wellness. My practice focuses on helping clients work through isolation, body image concerns, caregiver stress, and relationship patterns. Drawing from evidence-based techniques, I create a supportive environment where individuals can explore their experiences and develop meaningful strategies for healing.
My multilingual background allows me to connect with diverse communities, offering therapy in English, Spanish, French, and Haitian Creole. I am committed to honoring each client's unique journey and providing personalized support that respects individual experiences and cultural contexts.

Marie Pierre-Canel showed me that the guilt that I was carrying around is not even mine to carry. She created the space that I needed to be heard AND listened to without judgement. This freedom of expression opened a door for me to true introspection. I am grateful for my weekly coaching session with Marie. It helps me refocus on the new definition of life that I want for myself, without guilt.

She is extremely professional. She has a great sense of humour, which helps setting a lighter mood to the meetings. It makes it easier to talk. I had my meetings in french and we didn't have any difficulties understanding each other. She has giving some really good advice that have already helped. I wasn't sure at first about her coaching approach, but by the end of our first session, I was reassured seeing that she really knew what she was talking about and I could see how I could benefit from her.

I appreciate Marie Pierre's wise presence. She is a great listener and is able to push me to look at issues I may not realize at first, but then it forces me to take in new information and really ponder my choices. I trust her to be respectful and understanding and open minded. We can have a very productive and insightful dialogue on key issues. My week would not be as calm, if I did not have Marie Pierre as a guide and a support.

Marie-Pierre is warm & somewhat direct which I like . She is experienced & has a good life experience/ understanding being older than me. I like that she speaks *French too . She suggests concrete solutions & helps me see situations/life in a different light. She is a good listener that also participates in the conversation. I learned about myself more while talking to her.

Looking back on the last year and a half or so of working with Marie, I can see a big improvement in myself and my mental health. She provided me with tools and helpful ways of thinking about how I think, feel, and react to situations. Meeting with her feels like a weekly visit with my supportive auntie who listens and provides advice, but also focuses on how I make progress with my goals and shares worksheets with relevant exercises to work on whatever I am struggling with. She has helped me through some tricky emotional situations and has provided me with ways to practice feeling less guilt and worry, while prioritizing myself and my self-esteem. Many of these ways of thinking were completely new to me, or different perspectives I never considered before, and now I try to remember them every day. Thanks so much Marie!

Miss Marie helped me a lot.
I wasn't convinced at the real beginning (kind of sceptical because the other therapists I met where too detached) but she made THE step I needed to really feel someone cared. She coached me with honesty, kindness and warmth.
If you choose Miss Marie, and she chooses you in return, you are half the way done. Feel confident.
