25 years of experience
My name is Marlene Kastrinos. I am a licensed clinical social worker with a PhD in chemical dependency. I have worked as a therapist for 25 years. Many of those years in my private practice, Emotional Resource Center. I provide telephonic or virtual therapy and provide you with a safe and private session. I accept health insurance. My clientele are adults who may have alcohol or drug dependency. I work with clients who also have experienced anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, trauma, adjust disorder, women's issues, just to name a few. I am, I believe, I am down to earth, and a good listener who has worked with many different populations. I am solution oriented, and open minded. I welcome anyone looking for a therapist to guide and assist them in facing and solving their issues.
After our first session, my goal is that you feel lighter and as though a huge weight has been lifted from your shoulders.
My biggest strength is my ability to focus on the client and make them apart of the process. By listening closely, I am able to develop questions based on what I am hearing and make my client an active part of the therapeutic process, thereby, creating an individualized action plan.
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I find my clients do well with this form of therapy and learn how to identify and deal with their issues.
