Hi there. I’m Marlene, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida and licensed in Florida and New York. I work with young and older adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, loneliness, family issues, relationship issues and loss. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Strength- Based Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy to help you make progress and start feeling better. Throughout my over 15 years of experience, I have been fortunate to work with children, and adults including home-bound adults, and seniors. Some of my areas of specialization include mood disorders, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, working to reduce depressive symptoms and strengthening self-esteem. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and a Certified Grief Informed Professional.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session - we will start with brief introductions; then dive into the specific challenges you are facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am passionate about helping others through difficult times. I find that being honest, personable and having active listening ability allows me to listen without judgment. I enjoy seeing the individuals that I work with become the best versions of themselves.
