Are you seeking more than just a listening ear? Do you want a therapist who offers understanding and practical strategies to help you navigate life’s challenges? You’re in the right place. I’m Dr. Marston, a psychologist with over 30 years of experience, specializing in cognitive-behavior therapy—the gold standard for evidence-based treatment. I’m also a professor and author, passionate about blending cutting-edge research with compassionate care to make therapy as effective as possible. What sets my approach apart? I believe great therapy combines a deep understanding of psychology, clinical expertise, and genuine encouragement. A former client once said, “Dr. Marston is a great psychologist. He can be tough sometimes, but that’s exactly what I needed.” That balance of challenge and support is at the heart of what I offer. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, or simply want to build a better life, I’m here to help. Let’s work together to create real change. I look forward to meeting you!
Your first session is all about gaining a clear understanding of what brings you to therapy and creating a roadmap for change. Together, we’ll explore the challenges you’re facing, taking a comprehensive look at your experiences and the factors that have shaped them throughout your life. By the end of our conversation, we’ll work toward defining those challenges in a way that makes them easier to address. We’ll also identify the approaches most likely to help you move forward and develop a tailored treatment plan to guide our work together. Along the way, we’ll highlight your strengths and discuss how to use them as powerful tools in tackling your concerns. This session is the foundation for meaningful progress, giving us the insight and direction needed to start creating the change you’re looking for.
As a clinical psychologist, I bring a blend of compassion, expertise, and a results-driven approach to therapy. I’m here to truly listen, understand, and guide you toward meaningful change. When we work together, I’ll help you identify the changes you want to make and collaborate with you to create practical steps forward. Along the way, I’ll provide encouragement, keep us focused on your goals, and hold you accountable for the progress you’re seeking. Each session is an opportunity to track your growth, adjust our approach as needed, and build on your successes. This process ensures that every step you take is purposeful and leads to even greater progress. Let’s work together to create the change you’re ready for.
I work best with clients who are looking for both emotional support and actionable solutions. If you’re ready to explore what’s holding you back, make meaningful changes, and deepen your understanding of yourself, we’ll be a great match. I also believe that growth often comes from being gently but firmly challenged. If you’re the kind of person who values honesty, insight, and a therapist who pushes you (in the best way) to reach your full potential, I’d love to work with you.
