Congratulations! You have chosen to seek help. It is important to find a therapist you can build a relationship with. I am described as an interactive, insightful, intuitive, genuine, non-judgemental therapist. My expertise comes from a unique balance of professional and personal training and experience. I have a passion for what I do and love coming to work everyday. I would love to join you in getting where you want to be. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist with a family systems perspective. I add compassion-focused, culturally sensitive, attachment-based therapy with a solution focus, to fit each person's individuality.

Mary Lynn Marus (Molly), works with Autism, ADHD, and other mental health concerns. Do you or your loved one have a diagnosis of Autism, ADHD, or another developmental diagnosis? Do you find that behaviors are hard to manage, social communication is challenging, or that mood or worries are constantly weighing on you? Do you have a hard time finding someone who understands your concerns related to Autism, ADHD, Asperger's or another Intellectual or Developmental diagnosis? Are you a parent or caregiver of a child with Autism, ADHD, or IDD, who needs your own therapist who understands what you are going through? I am here to help!

I provide individual, couples, family, and group therapy services to people of all gender expressions and sexual orientations ages 15 and up. Areas of expertise include eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, interpersonal conflict, personality disorders, and others. Some areas of specific clinical interest of mine include disordered eating, gender/sexuality concerns, relationship issues, and substance use.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Are you ready for change but don't know where to begin? If you are looking for a safe space where you will not be judged and told that there is something wrong with you; a place where someone will really hear you and try her best to understand in a non-judgmental way? If the answer is yes, then this is the place for you.

In working with clients, my goal is to create a safe, accepting, and comfortable environment, which is conducive to allow you to grow as an individual and live the best life you can. We will form a mutual desirable relationship and focus our sessions by establishing and setting goals, which we will continue to assess throughout the counseling process. I will listen and remain attentive to your thoughts and concerns.

I am eager to hear your unique life story and how it has brought you to where you are today. As we work together, discussing meaningful events in your life, and bringing insight to them, positive changes start to occur. I respect your pacing and goals and do my best to get you where you want to be. I believe that therapy works best when both parties are active, trying to understand what ales you, and how to heal and move forward in life with greater satisfaction and joy.

I recognize each person as an individual with unique strengths, values and desires. As a part of the therapeutic process, I encourage people to identify and reflect on their own values and to improve their practice of making mindful choices based on those values. People often turn to therapy because they feel overwhelmed, alone, or disconnected. My hope for people receiving therapy is that they will experience a restoration of calm, a feeling of connectedness, and a return to a sense of normalcy. I concentrate on improving people's self-efficacy, the belief that one is able and capable.

**I am currently offering Teletherapy only!** As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring a systems perspective to my work, meaning that I consider not only the individual difficulties each client is struggling with, but also the way those challenges affect (and are affected by) their families, friends, work or school, and other important aspects of their lives. My goal is to use the language and activities that are meaningful and helpful to each client to build a trusting relationship from which clients can identify patterns in their life they would like to change, and to assist clients in creating that change in a healthy way.

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed? It's easy to feel unsettled these days. The pace of life just keeps getting faster and stress keeps piling on. In addition to worrying all the time you’ve also been having more physical problems: digestive issues, headaches, trouble sleeping. You never feel rested anymore. The truth is, you just don’t feel like yourself. It all seems like too much. With all that is going on it’s hard to know where to turn and who to trust. The good news is you don't have to face the difficulties of life alone. Together we can find an approach that works for YOU! 

We all have times we need to talk about ourselves, relationships, or situation to best figure things out. I provide a safe and active environment where you can focus completely on yourself without fear of judgment, and we work together to find ways to improve things. I help people solve a variety of life issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, family issues, and general life stress, to name a few.

Are you struggling with feelings of anxiety, having panic attacks, and difficulty making decisions? Are you unable to fall asleep at night because your mind is racing? Have you recently experienced a loss or are you having relationship problems? Are you having thoughts of suicide or self harming behaviors? I can help you develop skills to manage your emotional dysregulation that will carry over to the real world.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). I specialize in populations dually diagnosed with Mental Health and Substance Abuse Disorders. I am trained in Multi-Systemic Therapy; a family focused evidenced based model. Other training include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Trauma Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing which is primarily used with populations battling chemical addiction.

I subscribe to a solution-focus philosophy, in which I strive to address the problem as quickly as possible, but with enough depth to avoid relapse. I set goals early in treatment with adults and couples, or with children/teenagers and their families, so we can find successful solutions and change behavior problems, emotional difficulties, academic difficulties, or family problems as soon as possible. I love people and people's stories, and am always truly and deeply interested in the story of every child, teen, and adult I meet. I also think laughter is therapeutic and therapy can be fun.

I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist, and I have expertise in the use of acceptance-based treatments including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and the treatment of trauma. I see a wide variety of clients in my practice, including individuals struggling with symptoms of borderline personality disorder (BPD), depression, and anxiety disorders. I also work with survivors of trauma, including physical and sexual abuse and assault. I believe that effective treatment begins with a collaborative relationship with my clients.

My style is heavily collaborative with my clients, and I work hard to ensure clients feel comfortable and heard regardless of identity or background. I make continual efforts to stay educated, and my passion lies with underserved populations in need of safe places to seek counseling. Sessions are goal-oriented, strengths-based, and my role more like a Virgil to a client's Dante; I intend to serve as a gentle and informed companion on a client's personal journey.

Are you ready for a change but just feel stuck? If so let me support you. I have over 20 years of experience working with adults and children. My primary focus is helping individuals overcome obstacles that impact and prevent them from reaching their optimal level of health and well-being.

Research has proven that exercise is an effective counseling tool and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety. I am dedicated to helping others live the life I know they can have and deserve.

Did you know that separation and divorce are two of the most stressful life events you can experience? Are you struggling with the effects of parenting as it relates to your divorce? Working on redefining yourself as a parent, a single parent, or co-parent?
