Do you feel that your emotions, mental state, or self-perceptions cause you to feel misunderstood and alone? Do you envision a place where you can feel at peace and safely express who you are and what you need to thrive? Please know you are not alone. I am Marcia Friend, and I want to help. Using evidence-based practices, I am equipped to treat neurodevelopmental, behavioral, emotional, psychosocial, and other psychosis-related mental health challenges for adolescents and adults. Your treatment plan may include medication, counseling, or both, depending upon your needs and goals.
I offer collaborative and integrative approaches in treatment planning. We may partner with current or new team members in your care and I always consider all aspects of your being (physical, spiritual, and psychosocial) and how they work together for your overall wellness. Homework is an integral element to continuing self-care outside of your visit.
Curiosity and diversity are welcome. You are assured of being received in a non-judgmental environment. Let me help you build inner fortitude, resilience, and resourcefulness that will affirm your peace. I will support you in developing your goals of care and in traveling the path to wellness.
