She has also worked in an inpatient setting, with family services, in transitional care, and at a therapeutic preschool. She earned both her Master of Social Work and Bachelor of Social Work from Brigham Young University. Specializing in play therapy, filial (child-parent relationship) therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and a solution-focused approach, Maranda enjoys helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral problems, and child-parent relationships.
