I hope this message finds you well. My name is Polina Mariam, and I am so honored to connect with you. As the mother of five wonderful children ranging from 8 to 16 years old, I understand the beauty and challenges of parenthood. It’s a journey filled with immense love, joy, and sometimes moments of uncertainty or overwhelm.

For the past decade, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals, parents, and couples on their unique paths toward growth and fulfillment. My coaching journey began after I graduated from Cal State Fullerton, armed with a deep passion for helping others live their best lives.
Over the years, I’ve honed my skills and crafted an approach that truly makes a difference: an attachment-based approach.
This approach is deeply rooted in the belief that relationships and connections with others are fundamental to our well-being. We can create a foundation for personal growth, resilience, and happiness by nurturing healthy attachments and fostering secure bonds.

Whether you’re a single mom juggling the demands of parenthood solo, a parent navigating the complexities of co-parenting, or a couple seeking to strengthen your bond, I offer gentle guidance and unwavering support.

I believe in creating a safe and nurturing space where you can explore your challenges, celebrate your victories, and discover the tools you need to thrive. Our coaching sessions are tailored to your unique needs and goals because your journey is as individual as you are.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel daunting, but please know you are not alone. We can navigate this journey with compassion, kindness, and understanding. Whether you’re facing a specific parenting challenge, seeking to enhance your communication skills as a couple, or simply longing for a more profound sense of connection and fulfillment in your life, I am here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

So, if you’re ready to take the next step towards a more fulfilling and joyful life, I invite you to learn more about my coaching services and schedule your complimentary consultation. Remember, asking for help is okay, and I am here to support you on your journey toward greater happiness and well-being.

I want you to have a future where loneliness is replaced by connectedness, family relationships grow, and your career flourishes. During our sessions, we will work together to address your concerns, solve problems, and improve the quality of your relationships.

I encourage you to book a free initial consultation with me so you get a feel for how we can work together. I am pursuing a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University Irvine. My undergraduate degree is in Computer Science from Stanford University.

My theoretical orientation lies within trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and attachment-based therapeutic approaches. I am open to helping clients of all races, ethnicities, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. I offer individual, couples, and family counseling services. In my spare time, I love practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, cooking (I am a huge fan of Kenji López-Alt), reading, and playing video games with my family.

Hello there! Welcome. It’s a privilege to accompany you on your journey towards healing and growth. I deeply believe in the transformative power of healing and embrace all its diverse forms. My commitment lies in providing support and understanding to individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. While we each carry our unique stories, our resilience and capacity for growth truly shape us. Let’s forge a safe, nurturing space where exploration, healing, and flourishing thrive.

I am enrolled in graduate studies at Pepperdine University, where I am gaining the necessary skills to assist individuals in need. My experience extends to working with both children and adults with physical and mental disabilities. My aspiration knows no bounds—I aim to support every community, regardless of race, experience, or spiritual background.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I find joy in life’s simple pleasures, whether I indulge in television sitcoms, embark on scenic hikes, discover new restaurants, or immerse myself in music.

I embrace a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Holistic Approaches, Humanistic, and Integrated techniques. Let’s lay the groundwork for a fulfilling life journey filled with happiness and resilience.

I warmly invite you to step into a space where your trauma does not define you. I focus on creating a compassionate and secure environment where you can heal, connect, and reclaim your emotional well-being.

Through the lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I work collaboratively with you to explore and understand your emotions and relational patterns. Together, we will identify your strengths and develop personalized strategies to foster emotional resilience and deeper connections. I believe in the power of secure attachment and the transformative potential of understanding and expressing emotions.

Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I am committed to providing a supportive, non-judgmental space for you to explore your concerns. My approach integrates EFT with other therapeutic modalities such as Integrative Therapy and Person-Centered Therapy to offer a holistic and individualized path to healing.

I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine University. My education and practical experience equip me to support you effectively on your journey.

I encourage you to book a free 20-minute consultation with me to begin your journey towards emotional healing and thriving.

Hope is crucial to living. Helping people find hope is the reason I entered the counseling field. I desire to create a space where we can unpack the thoughts and feelings weighing you down and holding you back. Together, we can make a pathway forward.

We will honor your unique identity and experiences as we step through the process. We will identify your needs, values, and challenges in a non-judgmental space. We will create goals that align with you and help you move toward healing and wholeness.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families utilizing an integrated approach,
employing techniques from psychodynamic, attachment-based, Mindfulness CBT, EFT, and Person-Centered theories.

I graduated with a Master of Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree from the Townsend Institute at Concordia University, Irvine, and it would be my honor and privilege to work with you.
