Therapists in Jeannette, PA

The behaviors and emotions of grief, loss, and trauma are complex. Healing in mind, body, and spirit can be accomplished through traditional and spiritual counseling as well as guided meditation, spiritual structure, and goal setting. When clients are experiencing an inability to move forward, find it difficult to come to terms with life, cannot balance emotions and spirit, are enduring high levels of anxiety and stress, and are recognizing that their energy levels and physical body strength are at risk, the counseling of Dr. Marshall, an experienced counselor who uses Judeo-Christian and Buddhist principles can help heal.

I work with clients to create a tailored approach that prioritizes their needs and goals and also honors the unique identities we bring to the world. I utilize an integration of cognitive-behavioral, contemplative, humanistic, and depth-psychological orientations. My focus includes helping individuals navigate grief, life transitions, identity, trauma, spirituality, and relationship concerns. If you choose to work with me, I would nourish a therapeutic relationship of trust, compassion, and soul-making. I have extensive training and experience in expressive art, somatic, trauma-informed, and contemplative approaches.

Are you struggling with the crush of anxiety and overwhelm? Feeling stuck or directionless? Navigating the tides of loss or a big life change? Craving more peace and ease? I get it. In these challenging times it’s easy to become disconnected from our authentic selves—from purpose, from contentment & joy. Instead, anxiety and stress become constant companions, overpowering everything else. I’m here to support you, and to help you find your way back home to yourself. Together we can explore the big questions of purpose and connection along with practical strategies for current challenges & finding more ease and contentment every day.

I help people who are building and maintaining their families. I support people from their reproductive health journeys to navigating caregiver challenges with children ages 0-5. I’m experienced in supporting caregivers of multiples (twins, triplets, etc.), medically fragile children, processing whole-family traumatic experiences with young children, and caregiving-driven career pivots. I’ve previously worked in Biometrics Research, Community Mental Health, Tech Operations, and Education. I’m deeply committed to local community service.

I believe that meaningful change begins by creating a strong and authentic connection. I work in a collaborative manner with clients to help them grow and heal. I welcome clients from all walks of life and backgrounds. I am a trained generalist, which means I see most presenting concerns. I work with adults & teens presenting with a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, low self-esteem, depression and anxiety. I teach healthy coping skills, increase insight, and help resolve difficult feelings and make peace with hardship.

My work as a clinician is grounded in establishing a safe, supportive, and nurturing co-created environment. We all struggle at times and sometimes having help is necessary to find calm, balance, or growth. Each client brings their own unique strengths and challenges. Together we develop a plan to help you move toward your goals. My counseling is informed by my work with students with special needs, families in transition, my training in yoga and mindfulness, and my work with men and women who experienced domestic violence. I use a trauma informed, person-centered approach in which clients feel safe, heard, and valued.

I believe that therapy is a co-created process meant to bring awareness within ourselves and our relationships to create meaningful change. I believe that everyone has the natural capacity to have a fulfilling and desired quality of life. Healing comes into play to meet life’s obstacles so that growth and integration can happen. I look at relative trauma as well as the impact of larger systems. I use mind-body awareness practices to help bring alignment within authentic self. I work to bring non-judgment and trust as transformation occurs. I look to help you explore within yourself, in relationships, families, and society.

I’m interested in working with clients who are in search of deep emotional, mental, and spiritual healing. You can expect our sessions together to consider your past, and to process the impact of those experiences on your present day life. Almost everyone is impacted by distressing or traumatic events that inevitably occur throughout a lifetime, so those experiences will be explored and processed, as well. Our work together will be a blended effort of focusing on what is important to you, and my curiosity and guidance throughout your process.

I specialize in Substance use disorders, relationship issues, trauma, and gender identity issues. I am certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and also work with clients living with depression, anxiety, psychotic spectrum disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and Post-Partum Depression. I have also worked with clients on the Autism Spectrum, worked closely with behavioral analysis, behavior modification, and Cognitive Behavioral therapy. Womens' issues in counseling has always been a main focus for me as well as working with trans women.

As a psychodynamic, trauma-focused therapist, I can help you process past experiences in a safe environment - working with you to calm the unwanted noise that is anxiety. I can also help you address and resolve the depression that too often obscures our truest selves. Perhaps you’ve experienced a major upheaval or maybe you’re grappling with more subtle, disruptive changes to your day-to-day functioning. Either way, such shifts can be destabilizing, causing us to question core beliefs and ask: Am I even on the right path? New traumas may unfold, and older ones may awaken but we still have a very real need to feel grounded.

Every life has its own obstacles. Finding a healthy way to move through or past these obstacles ultimately determines our happiness. I utilize a skills based approach to treatment, with my goal being to work with my clients to decrease their symptoms, restore balance and improve overall quality of life. Integrating complementary techniques, I offer an eclectic and highly personalized approach, tailored to each individual client's situation. With compassion, humor, and understanding, I work with each client to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
