There’s no need to suffer.

We’re all wired for healing.

No matter how you may be feeling now, what you may have been through, or what you’ve already tried to feel better, you have positive qualities and strengths that make you resilient.

It’s my job to help you find those parts while helping you to process difficult emotions, grieve past losses, let go of old, unhelpful beliefs about yourself, and appreciate your wonderful core self. 

I’m Marnie.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have been seeing clients since 2002. I’ve been in private practice for 15 years, and, prior to that, worked in community mental health and college counseling at Cornell University. I use an approach called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). I also have training in psychodynamic theory, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness.

In my work I strive to establish a strong relationship with my clients, so they feel held, anchored, and supported. I provide a level of closeness and care that allows healing to occur profoundly and quickly. I believe that healing happens when one can truly be seen by another. I work with adults, teens, and specialize in gender and sexual identity.

I am trained and certified as a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist by Journey Clinical. I am also trained in Psychedelic Therapy and Integration through Fluence. Additionally, I have a certificate in MAPS, which will prepare me to work with MDMA for clients with PTSD once it is FDA approved.

THE BELIEFS THAT GUIDE MY WORK

STRENGTHS NOT WEAKNESSES

My approach is grounded in the idea that you’re not broken and that everyone is wired to heal. In our work, I help you look for what’s working in your life without getting bogged down by what’s not. I help you seize the little glimmers that bring you hope and joy, and I celebrate your wins with you along your journey.

ALWAYS AN ANCHOR

It’s my job to be an emotional anchor for you throughout your healing. I’m non-judgmental and want you never to have to experience strong emotions on your own.  I’m always here to support you, and I’m available to connect even between sessions.

CREATIVITY AND COURAGE

With me, you’re always safe to express all of your emotions. I bring open-mindedness and a sense of humor and adventure into our work, and I’ll go with you, emotionally, wherever you need to go. I want you to trust me and be as creative as you can in therapy.
