"Thank you for your interest in how I work. I derive a lot of meaning and personal satisfaction from helping people live with greater peace, joy, and fulfillment. I work with adults of all ages, including couples. I assist people in clearing away unnecessary negative layers that get in the way of living a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. A lot of my clients struggle with everyday problems that affect many of us, but I specifically treat depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma, using EMDR and a variety of approaches to talk therapy."

"I work with traumatized, anxious, or angry adults. Maybe it's been really hard to find someone in Cortez or Durango to talk to. I work with all ages of people looking to get past abuse, trauma, or other things they just can't shake. You and I can work together to move past those things that happened in the past. Using skills and a foundation in compassion, we can work together to learn how to communicate more effectively, grow to be more comfortable with emotions, and manage those crisis as they come. You can feel better today."

"Marianne Crom is a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been practicing over 10 years. Her expertise is in providing EMDR therapy, working with couples and counseling for addictions. Much of her success is with helping adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse or other forms of trauma, couples overcoming infidelity and families/individuals coping with addiction by learning how to lead a happy life. Clients have maintained sobriety and gone to college. Many have worked with co-occuring behavioral problems and found relief. Families have begun to understand the nature of addiction and how to cope with it."

"Are you ready to find a new way forward, but don't know how to choose a therapist? That makes sense. Since therapists are restricted from posting client reviews, you're left with reading fancy descriptions and looking at photos. So, here's the secret that all therapists themselves understand: Expertise and experience make the difference. Practically, you should look for therapists with 10+ years of experience and have travelled nationally to get the best post-degree training. Rather than having unseasoned or under-trained therapists learn from you, choose a therapist with the experience and training you deserve."

Making that first call can be nerve-wracking, but that's generally the hardest part. When it comes to therapy, I believe the relationship is everything.

"Dr. Horne is not accepting new clients at this time. Do you feel stuck in your life? Are you experiencing stress, confusion, or unhappiness? I can help you find a different path. When I work with clients, I believe they are experts on their own lives and offer my psychological expertise to augment existing tools and strategies. For therapy to be effective, you should feel comfortable with the therapist and, over time, trusting of the therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a non-judgmental, warm environment with an emphasis on helping you overcome difficulties and improve your life."

"My ideal client is frustrated, angry, in despair. Life hasn’t worked out the way it was supposed to. (S)he lost herself somewhere long ago, left herself behind. Relationships are hard; those recurring patterns and reactive behavior keep interfering with connection, and self-esteem, and contentment, and vitality, and... A malaise has settled, along with a darkness. This inevitably leads to anxiety, depression, isolation, addiction, and despair. My clients know there must be more. But, where to begin? How to start?"

"Drawing from my own athletic background and struggles with food, anxiety, self esteem and body issues, I passionately work with my clients. I specialize in working with confidence (self esteem) issues, anxiety issues, food problems (compulsive and restrictive), and body image problems. For many of us, food and exercise has been a source of stress and has felt constraining. Often these "symptoms" are deeply related to a general sense of not feeling good enough. I work to help my clients find and connect with that brilliant and authentic self that is ALWAYS good enough."

"I am a husband, father of four children and a licensed psychologist who provides counseling and coaching services. My experience as a seminary graduate also gives me expertise in pastoral counseling working with families facing crisis, chronic illness and trauma with a Christian perspective. I have a passion for empowering people to reach their goals and aspirations for a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I encourage people and organizations to identify their values and make choices that move their life in a direction consistent with their values."

"My work with the dying and their loved ones has inspired me to live more fully, it has reinforced my commitment to advocate and support people through grief. Conscious grieving is hard work, even knowing it's a natural process, our culture still denies it. Feeling isolated by grief is an experience that is meant to be supported. Being a witness for the "grieving hearts" is one of the areas of privilege in my life. I am truly deepened in my own journey because of this sacred opportunity to do this rich work with people."

"If you are struggling with addiction, chances are you are also dealing with another mental health issue - anxiety, depression, mood or personality disorder. It is important to address the whole picture - not just the addiction. Learning actual skills that can assist you in your daily life to handle stress, take control of your emotions, deal with relationships and become more mindful will make recovery easier to obtain and more meaningful. I am here to assist you along your journey."

"I believe counseling can help everyone, whether you are struggling with something specific like depression, anxiety, or grief, or simply wanting to live a healthier life.

I meet you where you are emotionally and help to get you where you want to be."
