LMHC, 20 years of experience
I'm a solution-based therapist who has been practicing for 20 years. My specialties include dealing with toxic people, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, life transitions, career confusion and grief. My goal is to find the right coping skill(s) for your particular situation. I want you to feel our time is productive and I want to get you out of therapy as quickly as possible, providing you with tools that will help you maintain emotional peace and confidence. Check out my website to learn more - www.marcielliott.com. Think we might be a good fit? Schedule an appointment so we can get to work! *PLEASE NOTE: All NEW client intake paperwork is required to be completed AND submitted no later than 24 hours prior to our appointment or we will need to reschedule. Thank You.
Let's find out what's on your mind, determine if we are a good fit, and then we'll figure out a game plan on how to resolve your issues as quickly as possible. Life should be for living, not spending loads of time in therapy.
I cut right to the chase and by the end of our first session will provide you with coping skills specific to your needs that you can put to use immediately.
I prefer to work with clients ages 18 and up. I also enjoy working with the elderly. My clients need to understand that therapy involves change and to remember that it is never too late to learn new coping skills. Also, you must be coming to therapy because YOU want it. Don't do it to make someone else happy.
I 've been providing counseling services since 2005 and utilize Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which has been described as "a mental health sprint rather than a marathon." SFBT focuses more on solutions than problems and can be just as effective as longer term therapies for many issues.
