About Mariah
Creating a space where progress matters more than perfection.
I’m Mariah Prince, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of P.O.P. with Prince Counseling. Born and raised in the Bronx, I have always valued the power of connection, resilience, and understanding the experiences that shape who we become.
For over eight years, I have supported adolescents, young adults, and families throughout New York City as they navigate anxiety, life transitions, relationships, identity development, and the challenges that come with growing into who they are.
I created P.O.P. with Prince Counseling because I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your authentic self—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation to have everything figured out.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build confidence, develop healthier coping strategies, and help you create a path forward that feels aligned with who you are.
As a mother, I understand that life is filled with seasons of change, growth, and unexpected challenges. I bring both my professional experience and personal understanding into my work, meeting each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect.
At P.O.P. with Prince Counseling, I believe that growth does not require perfection. Every small step forward matters.
Progress Over Perfection.
Helping you move forward — one step at a time.
Life transitions can be exciting, challenging, and overwhelming all at the same time. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, self-doubt, relationship challenges, major life changes, or the pressure to have everything figured out, therapy can provide a space to pause, reflect, and create meaningful change.
With over eight years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and families in the mental health field, I have developed a deep understanding of the challenges that impact emotional well-being, confidence, and relationships. My work focuses on helping teens and young adults develop healthy coping skills, strengthen communication, build confidence, and better understand themselves.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and therapy is a partnership where we work together to identify your goals, explore challenges, and create practical strategies for growth.
At P.O.P. with Prince Counseling, the goal is not perfection — it’s progress. Every step forward matters, and you don’t have to navigate the journey alone.
When I’m not supporting clients, I enjoy spending time with my family, embracing personal growth, and reminding myself that growth is a process, not a destination.
I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
