I provide a safe, supported and healing therapeutic setting for adults and adolescents who have experienced trauma, sexual abuse, addictions or are challenged by their life experiences and have found themselves ready to begin the process of gaining insight, understanding, and skills to safely navigate those experiences. These experiences can lead to a variety of issues that can have profound affects on our mind and body. It also may impact our daily functioning, our relationships, and our professional experiences. The journey through change begins from within, and together we can navigate that journey safely and compassionately.

My name is Amber Marinoff (she/her) and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). As a LMFT, I have been trained in family systems. Consequently, I view individuals’ struggles as part of a larger whole. I love working with individual adults, and you may find that my ability to offer unconditional positive regard to all my clients, helps to establish the trust that is vital to healing. People would say that I’m an empathic and compassionate advocate who believes if trauma can be passed through generations, so can healing. I love assisting people with remembering who they really are through reconnection to true self.

I integrate a variety of therapeutic modalities depending on the client, though I most often use Humanistic and Person-Centered Therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Feminist Therapy, Somatic Therapy and mindfulness practices.
My counseling philosophy is rooted in the idea that all humans have the ability to grow and heal. No human being is broken, and most mental health struggles stem, in part, from difficult external circumstances, like a traumatic past or a flawed culture. Through active listening, reflection, and gentle challenging, I help you become better acquainted with yourself, so that you can live in closer alignment with your values. I specialize in working with eating disorders and body image distress, but I also work with anxiety, depression, relationship and family struggles.

People looking at you from the outside might think you have it all together. You have a lovely family, a great wife, and a good career. But on the inside, you're dying a slow death. If anyone really knew what was going on, they would see that you are completely faking it. Inside, you're disappointed, let down and, let's face it... pissed off. To cope, you watch too much T.V., watch a little porn, and play video games. Maybe you drink too much; perhaps you smoke a little pot. You do whatever it takes to cover that longing for something more. So you just keep faking it, pretending that everything is fine, until one day you implode.

Humanistic Therapists

How does humanistic therapy work?

One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.

Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?

Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.

How long does humanistic therapy last?

The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.

Is humanistic therapy effective?

According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
