Looking for a therapist means that you have made it this far in your healing journey; and that you are working towards the change that you feel you need. My professional experience centers on working with children and adults seeking counseling and crisis management, while supporting their caregivers and or parents.

Whether it's starting college, coming to terms with a new disability, coming out, changing careers etc. major life transitions can be a time of incredible stress and pain as well as profound growth. It can feel impossible to make time to process the barrage of thoughts and feelings swirling around your head (and where do you even start?). You need someone to not just listen but to help you untangle the mess. Someone who can help you understand both internal and systemic barriers to wellness. Immediate availability for 1:1 Therapy! Availability: Weekly Monday, Tuesday, Thursday afternoon and evening

Accepting new clients! I believe in the transformational power of the therapeutic relationship. We all face overwhelming or confusing times in our lives, where we may feel like we can’t catch a break. Whatever the circumstances, having someone on our side while we explore our thoughts, feelings, and needs can make all the difference.

Hi, I'm Marina. With me, no topic, feeling, or situation is off-limits in the counseling space – I will treat you with respect to help you overcome what's hurting you. I work with individuals, couples/poly relationships, and families between the ages of preteen and elder. As a sex therapist, I have extensive experience working with kink and BDSM, polyamory, LGBTQ issues, gender therapy, sexual pleasure and dysfunction, pain with sex, negative body image, high or low libido, sex work, sex abuse, sexual trauma, and/or sexual shame, among other topics.

I offer somatic therapy to support resilience and nervous system regulation. My focus is on attachment and healing from stress and trauma. The basis of my work is trauma-informed care with an emphasis on anti-oppression theory. Somatic, or body-based therapy, can be particularly helpful for grounding, connection with self and others, integrating past and current experience, and embodiment. If you are looking for ways to shift out of survival patterns and into deeper presence in your life, you're in the right place. I work with adults and kids.

My therapeutic style is warm, curious, collaborative, and interactive. I take a strengths-based, holistic approach to therapy, understanding that no one exists in a vacuum. I will work with you to understand how all the systems (family, work, & societal) you interact with throughout life impact you. There is no one size fits all approach in therapy, with every person bringing their own authenticity and individualized life contexts, thus I tailor therapy to meet you where you are. As I walk alongside you on your growth and healing journey, I will also look for little ways to find laughter and joy amongst any pain and truth.

Are you seeking your truth? Feeling stuck? Do you want a therapist who really gets you? Perhaps you are part of a relationship or polycule, seeking to work on communication and intimacy in a non-judgemental environment. I am an art therapist and counselor working with individual adults and relationships from a person-centered lense. As an artist, DJ, and Jewish trans woman (free Palestine!) I know how important it can be to have a therapist who has lived experience on the margins. Using a warm and direct approach, I support people in the process of living their truths, creating the life and relationships that are genuine to them.

Thanks for checking out my profile! My approach to counseling engages clients' unique inner worlds via practices like art therapy, dreamwork and attention to somatic signals, without neglecting the impacts of outer circumstances and systemic harms.

Depression casts a shadow over us, making us feel like the pain will always be our "friend" and that we're in a hole we'll never get out of. Climbing out of the hole is possible. Depression can feel like carrying an invisible weight physically and mentally. It can make us beat ourselves up and use other kinds of pain to distract us. We become easily irritated, making it hard to take care of ourselves and show up how we want in our lives. Opening up feels like stepping onto fragile ground. But here’s the thing: people crave realness. They want someone to be honest and really listen. You're not alone. I GET it.

Agape Health Initiatives was created to help people achieve enlighment. An individual, regardless of one's past, present, and future, is deserving of the peace which comes from loving oneself and being able to show love to others. Emotional distress in the form of trauma, emotional disturbance, depression, anxiety, hearing voices or seeing things, negative self talk and distorted thinking steals personal peace and stops an individual from being able to obtain the peace which comes from loving oneself and others. My goal is to provide the tools and foster pathways for my clients to create personal peace and fulfillment.

We all get stuck & that's simply part of being imperfectly human. There are times in life when we need someone to walk beside us as we navigate new paths into healthier relationships. Relationships with ourselves and others. Intentionally cultivating new patterns of interaction and deconstruction patterns that no longer serve us. I act as a choreographer of conversations, aimed to explore emotional connections & attachment injuries and impasses. As humans, we have a biological need to feel seen to be safe, secure & connected in our relationships. I work collaboratively with clients creating safety, change & a new path forward.

Women seeking healthier relationships are my specialty. Even now, if you are deciding to change how you exist in this world you are already in transformation. Transformation comes through making choices that are conscious, consistent & compassionate and through dis-internalizing systems that are set up to repress and minimize your preciousness. The more we do this, the more we can give & receive love, find our fellow travelers (because we aren't meant to do this alone!) and create safe spaces in otherwise stormy places. With hearts open, and wisdom engaged, change becomes beautifully inevitable.
