Hello there. I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in both Florida and Indiana. I have 10 years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I think of therapy as an exchange of information.

I offer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy—honoring your mind, body, and spirit as we explore what matters and what moves you most deeply. My work is rooted in the belief that healing and transformation happen when we connect authentically—with ourselves, with the world around us, and with something greater. I believe your difficulties are not just challenges to overcome, they are opportunities to become, and discover the richness of who you truly are.  Together, we will explore not just what's wrong, but what's possible.

Even when things look fine on the outside, you might feel anxious, burned out, disconnected, or just not like yourself. Maybe you're facing a major change, experiencing difficult emotions, carrying the weight of chronic stress or health challenges, or dealing with something you can't quite name.  Maybe you're just tired of feeling stuck.  I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, acute and chronic medical conditions, and life transitions.  I welcomes into my practice anyone who’s ready to explore what healing might look like for them.

Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about having a space where you don’t have to pretend. A space where you can exhale, say the hard things out loud, and feel seen.  This is the kind of space I strive to create in every session—where you can be real, be heard, and begin to find your way forward.

My approach is grounded in Contextual Therapy. I don’t just help clients “fix” thoughts or behaviors—I work with them to build a more meaningful life, one where old patterns and problems naturally begin to lose their grip. It’s about shifting the frame, not just adjusting the picture.

I offer a space that’s collaborative, gently challenging, and deeply respectful of your unique path. You don’t need to “have it all figured out”—just a willingness to begin. Whether you’re dealing with social anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or a general sense of feeling stuck, my goal is to help you move toward a version of life that you choose, one that often feels more grounded, spacious, and aligned with whom you truly are.

Talking and making sense of your experiences can help you learn and understand more about yourself and what you need moving forward. Therapy is an educational tool and a safe outlet to help you gain clarity, insight, and awareness, and can help you adopt the skills necessary to overcome obstacles and improve your mental health.

Humor is a natural part of how I connect with others, and I’ve found that it often helps lighten the emotional load, making it easier to open up. It’s not just about laughter—it’s about creating safety and trust so we can dive into those difficult conversations that can often feel overwhelming. Whether you’re navigating a specific challenge or simply seeking personal growth, I’m here to help you develop the tools to manage life’s ups and downs with more clarity, confidence, and resilience. Together, we’ll build a path that feels right for you, using a combination of insight, support, and yes, even a little laughter when it’s needed most.

Iasia Tyre

First of all, I love what I do and to witness the positive changes clients make in their lives as a result of choosing therapy to help them accomplish what they want.  Often the goal is to achieve symptom relief so as to not be overwhelmed by anxiety, mood disorders or be better able to manage the challenges of ADHD.  Sometimes there is not a specific outcome identified but a need for ongoing support for dealing with life transitions or difficult people.  Sometimes clients use therapy as a confidential sounding board where they can talk to an objective outsider about situations and sort out their perspective. I offer various ways to see and respond to situations that might otherwise not be considered. Your opinion as a client is the most important one and I will also honestly provide mine when asked for. I believe therapy can actually be something that you can look forward to and an opportunity to learn new skills to use long after you discontinue, and we can even have some fun and laughs along the journey.

Tina Oakley

I have a master of science in mental health counseling from Capella University.  I am trained to work with individuals, groups, families and couples.  I also have extensive knowledge and sensitivity in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar, difficult life transitions, parenting issues, relationship problems, LGBTQIA issues and other life challenges.

My understanding of counseling comes from many different theoretical orientations.  I believe that the client or clients have the solutions to their dilemmas within one’s self. Therefore the counselor does not have the “answers” to the client’s “problem” but is a facilitator of the process that helps the client take responsibility and action and come to a resolution. I am here to support and guide you on that journey.

Many couples and individuals feel overwhelmed by the desire to balance the high demands from work and family life.  They report feelings of emptiness and loss of drive.  Some report feeling of depression, anxiety and low self-esteem.  Others contemplate divorce as a solution to decrease the pressure they are internalizing.

You can contact me for help if you are experiencing some of the feelings I have mentioned above, and you are  ready to make changes in your life.  l work with couples and individuals in a safe and confidential platform environment.  

In life we all need support and understanding from others.  Sometimes the best solution is to seek professional help.  Having emotional support is extremely helpful. Relying on friends or family members is also helpful.  However, you may not want to overwhelm them with problems.  The most intelligent solution is seeking professional help.

Circe Dunwoody

Welcome! My name is Marian Robinson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia with over 20 years of professional mental health experience. I have experience in helping clients with low motivation, relationship issues (individual), self-esteem and confidence, career difficulties, mood disorders, anxiety, depression, grief, and end of life issues. I take an eclectic, person-centered approach, CBT and psychodynamic approach where you are in the driver seat in your own recovery. I am here to support you in that process and will meet you where you’re at, without judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage and I would be proud to help you get started.
