ABOUT US

MARI® Creative Resources provides teaching and training programs that encourage wellness in mental health using the MARI® psychological assessment. Our goal is to provide a quality training program and excellent service in the administration of teacher training and certification. We also promote creativity and innovation within the organization, particularly in areas that promote practitioner satisfaction and continuing education, by providing products and services at a reasonable cost.

MARI® Creative Resources provides training to the mental health care sector which includes mental health professionals, providers of counseling in a therapeutic setting, art therapists, and a network of licensed/certified practitioners of holistic, alternative and wellness mental health therapies. It also provides services to those who use less traditionally oriented approaches such as Myers-Briggs or Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

The Mandala Assessment Research Instrument, or MARI®, is rooted in the research and systematic study of thousands of client-drawn mandalas.  This research was implemented and conducted by art therapist Joan Kellogg in the 1970’s. The MARI® as we know it now first took form in Joan’s Master’s thesis in the 1980’s. Since its invention, the MARI® has been continually researched, modified and enhanced for over roughly twenty years with input by the many different therapists who use the  MARI® with clients. The MARI®, as it exists today, will continue to disclose itself and evolve over time. We invite research proposals and written experiences of MARI®.

MARI® RESOURCES and all rights associated to MARI® are owned by Michele (Shelley) Takei, Ph.D. and Frank Takei, Ph.D.  MARI® RESOURCES is the parent company of MARI® CREATIVE RESOURCES and MARI® COACHING RESOURCES.
