I work best with driven people experiencing a big change. Perhaps, despite your best efforts, things aren’t working out as you’d hoped. Or perhaps you’ve gotten all you wanted and it doesn’t satisfy. I work often with D1 athletes & pros (as well as their family members). I love supporting the romantic partners of people in the public eye. Though I often work with athletes I am not a Sports Psych. In fact, I don’t even follow sports! I’m here for the rest of your life and identity.

Mariko Kemble

Therapist

Virtual • Kentucky


Hi, glad you're here! My name is Mariko, and I work with adolescents and adults who are navigating grief, anxiety, family conflict, relationship concerns, and the impact of earlier life experiences that continue to show up in the present.

I have experience working with clients across the lifespan, from children through adults, though I especially enjoy working with young adults as they work through relationships, identity, and major life transitions. My background includes supporting clients through trauma, grief and loss, mood-related concerns such as depression and anxiety, and challenges related to self-esteem and body image.
