Therapists in New York

Hello and thank you for visiting my BetterHelp profile! Here you can take a moment to learn a bit about me and perhaps get a feel for my style. I am certified as a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), having earned my Masters of Social Work from New York University School of Social Work. As with the majority of LCSWs today, my approach is eclectic. That being said, I carry a strong belief in the importance of early attachments. My therapeutic style is framed by Objects Relations Theory, which emphasizes the importance of initial relationships. An “object” here is the primary caregiver, most frequently one or both parents. One’s earliest relationship with his or her object(s) has an undeniable influence on the development of self-esteem, which influences relating with every other individual as well as to the self. I have seen this in all of my clients, young and old, regardless of diagnosis. I do believe the effects of these attachments are irrefutable, however I recognize change is always possible, and in many cases necessary. It is also important for me to emphasize my experience working with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). From my observations in both my personal and professional life, most humans alive today have “borderline tendencies,” which translates to “difficulty regulating emotions in interpersonal relationships.” I have become familiar with the stigma carried by many against this diagnosis and therefore relate to these clients without unnecessary judgment. Experience has shown me that I work well with those struggling with regulation of their interpersonal relationships, whether diagnosed or not. I also have experience with client substance abuse/addiction and understand every person’s ultimate need to love and be loved. Presently, I provide psychotherapeutic counseling to adults with traumatic brain injury. These humans now contend with regulating their emotions, similarly to addicts and those with BPD, and can benefit from the intensive approach of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Finally, I am a 500 hour certified yoga teacher and am passionate about yogic values as they relate to present day therapy. I am experienced in promoting body awareness and in leading meditations. If interested, just ask :) (If our schedules do not seem to align, please write to me and ask for a more fitting time. My schedule can be flexible. Do not let this be the reason we do not work together!)

Welcome! Thank you for your interest in working with me at Betterhelp. I’d like to take a few moments to introduce myself so that you can better decide whether you and I will be a good fit for working together as you pursue your goals. I am licensed in New York with 9 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger management, & motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. I am trained and certified with EMDRIA as a certified EMDR specialist. I have received a post-graduate degree in trauma and dissociation, and I am trained in clinical hypnosis through the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis. I am very grounded in systems thinking and recognize that a change in one area of our lives changes all areas of our lives. I am also trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS). Even before graduating from Regent University with my MA in CMHC, I worked as a volunteer counseling paraprofessional for 8 years with the United States Army serving our veterans and their families. My BA in theology from NBC also enabled me to serve in a pastoral counseling role in the civilian world. All of this experience, along with a 30+ years marriage, raising children, thriving despite a chronic illness, and facing life in general, informs my counseling and coaching practice. Life coaching provided an opportunity for me to continue offering personal growth support to others through an empathic and informed interpersonal engagement process, while also allowing me the ability to be mobile. My program at iNLP is accredited by the largest and most reputable coaching regulatory system- the International Coaching Federation, as well as by the National Board for Certified Counselors, a mental health credentialing body. Although a surprise to me at first, I have fallen in love with the coaching process. Client empowerment was always huge for me as a counselor and my stance was to never offer advice but to believe in my client’s own ability to co-create a plan to address mental health challenges. Coaching has enabled me to take this client-empowered stance even more seriously through the process it utilizes, whether in a coaching or counseling setting. Logistical Information about services I offer through BetterHelp: As we work together, it is important that you understand that we will do the majority of our contact through our scheduled sessions, and much less through chat. I work part-time ( Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) here at BetterHelp, I will respond as soon as possible, on those days, to messages I receive. I am certain you can appreciate the necessity of a healthy work-life balance, and this is one way I guard my own wellbeing.

Hi I’m Marie, like the middle name! I became a therapist because I have a passion for helping others and I believe we all need a little extra support sometimes. Life is hard! I have extensive experience in helping clients learn to better manage their stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and more! I provide a safe, supportive space for you to explore your feelings and develop effective coping strategies. I specialize in guiding clients through relationship issues, helping you find motivation, and building self-esteem. I am not a certified art therapist, however, I do enjoy incorporating creative arts in therapy sessions if desired. After a session with me, you can expect to feel supported, have a fresh perspective on things, learn new coping skills, and if desired, be assigned “homework” to work on in between sessions! I typically work Monday-Wednesday & Saturday’s from 8:45am-4:30pm and Sunday’s from 8:45am-12pm. Reach out with any questions, looking forward to working with you!
