Hello! My name is Marcellus. Do you find that you get "stuck" along your life's journey and could use a little support making your way? Do your relationships with others or yourself, past or present, get in the way or create barriers for you? The spaces and places we find ourselves in along life's journey can be distressing, problematic, and/or harmful. Being able to navigate those areas of life in an adaptive way can be beneficial to our well-being. I compare therapy to a car's navigation system, you know the destination and have to do the driving and the therapist offers routes and options for you to take. Working together, you can reach your destination safely and at your own pace.
How we respond to therapy sessions varies depending on what is discussed in the session. I hope that individuals leave our sessions with a sense of clarity and being informed on how to respond to those things in life that can be triggering or impairing.
I tend to be eclectic in my approach to this work. I initially use a Biopsychosocial Assessment to help gain insight to what methods and tools may be helpful moving forward.
I believe an area of strength for me is my tendency to validate while challenging an emotional experience. Some feedback I have received us that I can be insightful and direct which can help those who struggle to process their thoughts and feelings.
