Meet Your Therapist

Hi, I’m Mariah Peloso — I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m a licensed therapist and the founder of Relevé Wellness and Counseling, where I offer virtual therapy for adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, and stress-related challenges through a trauma-informed lens. My mission is to support women—especially BIPOC women—in reconnecting with their inner strength and stepping fully into their power.

My journey in social work began in schools across Chicago and Dallas-Fort Worth, serving children and adolescents in both general and special education settings. During the pandemic, I developed a deep passion for supporting parents, which led to my current focus on working with adults.

As a BIPOC woman living with ADHD and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my practice. This personal insight drives my commitment to exploring diverse, effective ways to support others in their healing. I’m continually doing the inner work myself—and I consider it an honor to walk alongside clients as they do the same.

Beyond the therapy room, I’m passionate about mental health education, increasing access to care, and reducing stigma. When I’m not working, you can find me dancing, practicing yoga and Pilates, traveling, writing creatively, or enjoying a little reality TV.
