Marilyn Wallace
Congratulations for taking the first and hardest step towards improving your life. I work in partnership with clients to identify goals and create movement towards better functioning and successful relationships.
Cognitive Behavioral, Insight-Oriented, Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, among others.
With over twenty years of full-time experience as a psychotherapist, I bring to bear a broad range of experience such as hospital-based specialty treatment, outpatient partial program treatment, and private practice among others.
First session
The first session is really about looking for 'fit'. Clients and therapists alike get a sense of how the working alliance may feel, while simultaneously looking at compatibility of clinical concerns and treatment goals. Please if you are a COUPLE needing support, contact me PRIOR to scheduling so we may assess best options.
Strengths
Clients ususally report that they appreciate "knowing that you will tell me what you really think".
Ideal clients
So sorry, the idea of a "dream client" seems a bit silly...in healthcare clients present for treatment bringing a variety of backgrounds and concerns. ****AT THIS TIME i DO NOT TAKE COUPLES ON ZOOM. Clients very regularly present with couples' concerns, which we work with one=on=one (if zoom is the modality), and as clinically appropriate bring family in for consultation.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
There is no single treatment modality to fit all. Usually my clients grow from learning through cog b, attachment theory, psychodynamic, family systems, and B-mod.
