ABOUT MARIANNA
HI THERE
I'm Marianna [née Szczepkowski] Henry (she/her). I am a bilingual first-generation American. My family emigrated from Warsaw, Poland, and settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
I am thrilled to have recently returned to West Michigan after 17 years in Utah where I built a meaningful career in higher education and professional coaching.
I founded MH Success Coaching in 2020, and have completed thousands of hours of coaching in higher ed and my private practice.
​
I have partnered with ADHD and AuDHD clients of all ages for over five years. In addition, my two youngest children, as well as my partner and I, were diagnosed in the last few years!
I am trained and well-versed in neurodivergence, co-occurring conditions, and executive function challenges and strategies, and I am always learning, growing, and training and mentoring others in this space.
​
In my personal time, I enjoy singing, reading, writing, Halloween, being at the beach, home improvement, amusement parks, traveling with my family, and spending time with our sassy fluffy cat and sweet chubby hamster.
COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I follow a holistic and strengths-based coaching paradigm. As a credentialed member of the International Coaching Federation, and President of the ICF High Country chapter, I also follow the ICF Code of Ethics and Core Competencies.
It's important for me to create an environment of belonging, authenticity, open-mindedness, accessibility, and inclusion.
Coaching is a collaborative effort, a partnership which requires non-judgment, trust, communication, and empathy. Every background, identity, and story is different – there is no one-size-fits-all approach.
​​
I aspire to embody one of my favorite unattributed quotes: "Be so completely yourself that everyone feels safe to be themselves too."
