Marco
is a therapist at Two Chairs.
In the real world, some clients hide all or parts of themselves, but in this virtual therapeutic space, Marco encourages clients to show up as their authentic selves. This helps set the foundation for a strong and collaborative therapeutic relationship. He uses storytelling, metaphors and elements from science fiction, fantasy and pop culture to help client’s gain some clarity regarding their challenges, and together they will come up with ways to make healthy and lasting change.

In his spare time, Marco enjoys Bikram yoga, meditation, swimming, learning American Sign Language, and studying Pure Land Buddhism. He is a huge fan of Star Wars, a DC and Marvel Comics fan and the custodian of two tabby cats and a bunch of plants.
