Hi, I’m Marirhetta, Clinical Director at Candor and Hope Therapy, a private practice located in Northeast Ohio.
As a dually licensed therapist in Ohio, I help adults, couples, and families navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges with compassion, clarity, and evidence-based care. I specialize in anxiety therapy, depression counseling, premarital counseling, relationship issues, women’s concerns, and personal growth, with a strong focus on helping clients heal from childhood experiences and long-standing emotional patterns that continue to impact their lives today.
Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted—struggling with persistent anxiety, functional depression, major life changes, or a desire for deeper self-understanding and confidence. Therapy provides a supportive space to slow down, gain insight, and develop practical tools to manage stress, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and move forward with intention.
At Candor and Hope Therapy, we offer a safe, nonjudgmental environment for honest conversation and meaningful change. We meet you where you are, collaborate with you on clear therapy goals, and support you through the work of healing, growth, and self-development. Together, we focus on building emotional resilience, strengthening relationships, and creating sustainable change that supports your mental health and overall well-being.
If you’re looking for therapy for anxiety, depression, life transitions, or personal growth in Ohio, and you’re ready to invest in yourself and your emotional health, I invite you to schedule an intake session today.
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."
“My therapist in the past taught me to dependent on them; Marirhetta taught me how to “fish” for myself. Thank you!”
