LCMHC, 5 years of experience
Hi I'm Marketa. Thank you for reaching out and considering this step. The decision to come to therapy can be scary. There are so many unknowns, especially if you have never done this before. I am here to stand and walk with you through every step of the process of change and healing- It gets better. My goal in my relationship with you is to make sure that you feel safe and comfortable enough to be yourself. I have a passion for working with children and adolescents; ages 10 to 17 with feeding and eating disorders. I welcome adults of all ages struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image concerns, anger management, and trauma. You are not alone. It gets better. I look forward to hearing from you. Let's start today.
You can expect to have a conversation with me during the first session. This conversation will be laid back and casual. It may feel a lot like a conversation with a friend and that is intentional. I want you to feel safe and comfortable in your first session.
Most of my clinical training has been in the treatment of feeding and eating disorders such as Anorexia, bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder among others. I approach therapy from my heart rather than my head so I have a unique ability to connect and provide safety very quickly. I want you to feel safe above all else.
