Hi, I'm Caroline Scippa, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and I'm passionate about supporting women through life transitions and relationship challenges. I support my clients, most of whom self-identify as women, in managing anxiety and perfectionism, reevaluating unwanted habits and ways of coping, building communication skills and boundaries to help relationships thrive, and making big life decisions around priorities and desires for the future. I believe therapy should feel like a deep and rich conversation. I am not the type of therapist who only sits and listens.

Sometimes life can feel difficult to go at it alone, and a therapist can offer support and guidance to help guide you through the maze. Marybel’s techniques include guiding clients to look inside their unconscious mind by asking reflective questions that cause one to look inside. Clients work on identifying patterns and thoughts that are getting in the way of progress, in order to make conscious change. Marybel also works to help people though difficult feelings by teaching mindfulness, relaxation and heart-centered awareness. You can heal yourself when you do the work and look inside to see your gifts and release the past.

Are anxiety and worry squeezing you? Does sadness and despair shadow your every move, regardless of your efforts? Do you carry memories of abuse and trauma, leaving you broken, damaged, and disconnected from your true self? The weight of these emotions forms a relentless storm within, casting shadows over relationships whether at home, work, or school. The pressure to be perfect weighs heavily, eroding well-being and sowing doubt. Sleep, focus, and clarity remain elusive. Internally, you yearn for success and true happiness, yet the struggle persists, leaving you feeling like a mere facade, a fake, a deceiver, a fraud.

Seeking help carries a negative stigma, either because of cultural beliefs or social judgment. However, there has been an increase in awareness of the importance of taking care of our mental health over the years. It's okay if you're dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship issues or adjusting to major life changes. I am here to assist in the promotion of healthy coping skills, the development of insight, and the creation of self-awareness of unhealthy partners/behaviors.

I’m about to retire. Not taking new clients. Thank you! We know that we pass down our hair color and eye color from generation to generation. We even know that we pass down risk for heart disease, cancer and even addiction. What we don't realize is that we also pass down risk for affairs, partner abuse, and child abuse. When we hide these things in shame, we create a culture of secrets, lies, and BS. I believe we can break these repeating, dysfunctional patterns patterns in our own lives and in our family's lives, and that we can help our children not to repeat them unintentionally.
