Mariangeles F. Duo
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
“Building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients is essential for me. I connect with my clients by providing a climate of trust and understanding, discussing topics with a nonjudgmental attitude, and paying attention to verbal and nonverbal cues. I treat my clients with respect and dignity acknowledging their autonomy and choices, and showing appreciation for their unique experiences and perspectives. I like being authentic and transparent, and it’s important for me to actively listen and validate my clients’ emotions.”
