Maranda leans towards Polyvagal theory, CBT, DBT, person-centered, and more holistic modalities in her practice.

The start of her career was spent in community outreach and a hospital setting in NJ. That's where Maranda's decision to work with trauma and addictions began. This only bloomed further as she transitioned to working in a substance abuse IOP.
