Hi, I am Marjorie a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in IL. I received my Master of Social Work degree from Aurora University. I have worked with various populations and have been providing therapy for over 5 years in various settings. I help individuals who have been struggling with their mental health and want to take back control of their lives.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first sessions together, we will have a brief introduction then start to focus on the specific challenges you are facing. We will start to build rapport and create a treatment plan that will be tailored to your unique situation. We will work together on your specific challenges in order to help you lead a more productive life for yourself.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is being in the moment with my clients. Providing non-judgmental support and helping to get to the root of the problem and coming up with specific ways to handle the situations causing stress. I am very emphatic and great listener and possess skills to help with various situations. I have a unique ability to help individuals make changes in their everyday lives.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I love working with adults who have experienced past trauma and suffer from various disorders such as Depression or Anxiety. These individuals are eager to make the necessary changes and implement coping skills to help them deal with their symptoms. Sometimes clients feel stuck overwhelmed anxious and unsure where to turn for help with their problems or have the skills to solve distressing situations in their everyday lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have utilized CBT with various populations. CBT includes identifying one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are dysfunctional. In therapy, we work to change those negative thought processes to positive thoughts.
Strength-Based
In strength-based therapy, the focus is on the problems and deficits of the client. As the therapist, I help to identify my clients' strengths or deficits, and we work together to bring out the client's resilience to foster client's growth.
Interpersonal
Interpersonal therapy helps clients understand their emotions and social signals which they can use to understand and improve interpersonal situations in their lives.
