Marie Stokey
Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, LPCC
Verified
As an experienced therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to find resources to help those who are suffering from issues such as anxiety, depression, past trauma and abuse, forming and maintaining healthy relationships, etc. These issues can be difficult and I work on creating a collaborative relationship with my clients to help them have the tools they need to overcome some of these different roadblocks that are experienced in life.

Some people struggle for weeks, months, or even years before considering psychotherapy. And it makes sense — it's hard to confide in a stranger and can take a while to find the right fit. We want authenticity and experience in a therapist but also someone relatable and easy to talk with. When couples counseling, family therapy, or child/adolescent support is needed, the search may seem even more daunting. We need a clinician with the interpersonal skills, temperament, and adaptability to forge a meaningful connection with our partners, children, and the networks who support them.

I strive to facilitate a reflective and explorative environment where the unbearable can be held and truth can be spoken. Multicultural and bilingual elements of my identity, and a history of enduring ethnic discrimination and immigration, significantly inform how I listen to my clients, think through trauma and fragmentation with them. Unconscious repetitions of aversion, clinging, and reenactments of familiar/familial ways of being bind us in suffering. Through psychotherapy, rigid frames of being can be deconstructed and psychological space can be reclaimed for creativity, desire and becoming.

You’re not sure why you feel so anxious and overwhelmed because things are going well on paper. You often feel drained and alone, even when you’re with the people closest to you. It's terrifying to think that you could always feel this way. Maybe you can’t shake the feeling that you’re very far off from where you’d like to be even though you’ve worked hard to get to where you are now. Or you’re using substances or pulling away from your support system because you’re so tired of feeling this way. Either way, you know that something needs to change. You’ve taken an important step already by beginning to look for help.

Where can I go for help? Who can I talk to? How do I get through this? Won't somebody help me? Yes! I will. There are times in life when we go through something we just don't know how to get through. There are times when we reach a breaking point and acknowledge that doing it alone is just not an option anymore. Making the choice to reach out at that point is a breakthrough that can open the door to the relief you are seeking.

We are now in a communal health crisis together. It exacerbates feelings of anxiety and depression that we may have, and can make us spin as we try to adjust to Pandemic reality. Many of my clients are parents, people with career questions, immigrants, social justice workers. Many are either coping with a current situational issue that is confusing, overwhelming, or painful, or with a longer term pattern that they would like to change. I work in an engaged manner, hoping to build trust and a collaborative relationship that will allow you to look at old patterns and create new emotional and behavioral options, especially now.

The therapeutic relationship we build together creates a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. Grounded in strengths-based and relational approaches, together we listen closely to your feelings, thoughts, behaviors, desires, and intuitions. We also pay attention to somatic sensations, creative expressions, and dreams to help us tune-in to the unconscious dynamics and motivations within you. Through this process, healing occurs and new possibilities unfold.
John Connors McConville
Marriage & Family Therapist, MDiv, MA, LMFT

I work with people who face challenges that often arise but are not exclusive to the second half of life such as: the trauma of illness & death, caring for aging parents, loss of satisfaction or sense of meaning in relationships and work, loss of a job, and/or loneliness. I also work with folks suffering from love addiction or love avoidance. These challenges can often be baffling and carry symptoms such as depression, fear and anxiety. The rational mind may understand what is going on but somehow the emotional and physical body can't always take solace in rational solutions.

Children can encounter many stressors, and when a life transition or other challenging behavior are present, the family can find themselves overwhelmed and in need of support. I work with children & teens, ages 7 - 18, from a diversity of backgrounds. With nearly 10 years of experience working closely with children and parents, I'm familiar with a variety of presenting needs that can arise. My first step with each child, is to listen so that they feel understood, heard, and supported.
