Mari Richko is the owner /founder of Center for Authentic Living in Park Ridge IL. a holistic hub for mental health and wellness. She has worked in the holistic health field for 25 years and applies her background in Body Focused Psychotherapy to her work with clients. She is known for treating eating disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, spiritual transformation and transitions. She incorporates mindfulness, body mind acupressure, shiatsu, nervous system work, IFS( Internal Family Systems), and Traditional Chinese Medicine to facilitate a conscious connection with our inner experience, a place of curiosity and healing.
Mari offers psychedelic assist therapy as an adjunct specializing in approaching struggles mindfully and spiritually, from the lens of living the best versions of ourself. Tools for reconnection include yoga, meditation as well. Her empathetic style includes empowering health, well being, and understanding the body/mind/spirit connection.
“I believe as therapists that it is necessary to use compassion, cultivate mindfulness, and wisdom in our approach to empowering individuals to progress towards improved health and well- being and that it is imperative to develop some sort of spiritual practice in life to transform and fully heal. I believe an optimum treatment program relies on this.
