My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Although I like to tailor sessions to fit the need of the individual client, CBT is the most commonly used treatment method in which negative patterns of thought about the self and the world are challenged in order to alter unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders such as depression and anxiety.

I had a great session with Marvia. I felt heard and listened to. The first session felt very comforting and very thought provoking. I look forward to other sessions with her.

Marvia is an excellent therapist that really takes the time to listen and lean into what you are sharing. Each session is unique but yet builds off of previous sessions. I look forward to my sessions and highly recommend Marvia if you are looking for a therapist that goes over and above!
