Hello! I’m Mariah C., a licensed social worker and one of the therapists here at HopeSprings.
I am from Champaign and have had the privilege of working with children, teens, and families in the community, each with their own unique experiences and perspectives. I am passionate about supporting young children and teens as they navigate emotions, relationships, and life’s challenges. I enjoy using creative approaches such as play therapy, art therapy, and sand tray, along with other therapeutic tools, to help each person in a way that feels right for them.
I take a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental approach, creating a safe space where people feel heard and accepted. Therapy does not always have to be serious. It can be an honest, relaxed conversation, or simply having someone to listen without judgment.
In my free time, I love spending time with my family, reading, watching my favorite shows, and being outdoors, walking, or simple enjoying nature. These simple joys remind me how important it is to take time to recharge and enjoy life.
My goal is to meet people where they are and support their journey in a way that feels genuine and comfortable. Therapy is your space, and just showing up is enough. I look forward to working with you and supporting you along the way.
Education: Bachelor Degree in Social Work from the University of Louisville and a Master Degree in Social Work from Louisiana State University
