Our three specialized clinics—the Psychological Clinic, the University Center for the Child and Family, and the University Center for Language and Literacy—work together to provide exceptional support for people of all ages. Furthermore, as a premier training institute we are devoted to nurturing the next generation of clinicians, ensuring they are equipped with the skills and insights necessary for impactful practice.
Our team of skilled clinicians is dedicated to excellence, addressing a wide array of mental health, language, and literacy challenges with personalized care informed by the latest research and evidence-based practices. By collaborating closely with our clients, we set clear and meaningful treatment goals that aim to significantly improve their overall quality of life.
At MARI, we believe that every client deserves care that is individually-tailored to their unique journey. Whether navigating mental health challenges or seeking to develop language and literacy skills, we are here to support and empower our clients at every stage of their journey.
