Before co-founding Goldie, Mara built and scaled Ember Psychotherapy Collective, a boutique mental health practice based in the US. Since relocating abroad, she has become passionate about developing accessible, high-quality mental health care for people - no matter where in the world they live.
Her therapy work is grounded in academia and research: Prior to becoming a therapist, Mara spent over a decade as a researcher at Harvard Medical School, the University of Pennsylvania in the US, and as a Fulbright Scholar in Budapest, Hungary where she studied psychotherapeutic interventions for anxiety and borderline personality disorder.
At Goldie, Mara blends scientific rigor with lived empathy - building a therapeutic space that’s globally minded, deeply informed, and emotionally attuned.
