About me

My name is Marie Pierre-Canel, a mental health counselor licensed in Florida with over 3 years of experience working as a counselor and a life coach. I work with children, teenagers, and adults who are facing different types of challenges including problematic behaviors, distorted thoughts, and difficult relationships. We help improve self-esteem, replace negative self-talks with more positive ones, enhance ability to cope with life’s worries, and develop skills needed to effectively interact with others.

I am very patient, dynamic, and culturally sensitive. I treat everyone with respect and dignity. I use several approaches to help my clients, including cognitive behavioral therapy . My treatment plans are tailored to address each client’s unique and specific needs.

I truly believe struggles can change life for the better if we learn the lesson needed to move forward.

I am inviting you to use my support and expertise to help you remain positive while you go through life’s challenges.

I provide services in 4 languages: Haitian Creole, French, Spanish, and English .

She is exceptional, Marie is able to identify the problem, listens, is empathic and understands the situation. I am very grateful that she is my therapist.

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!
