In my thirteen years as a psychotherapist, I have learned that we all have a natural ability to heal. Often, external barriers, life events, trauma, and difficult relationships can block us from fully accessing this inner healing power. I work to cultivate curiosity and compassion so that you can safely and deeply explore your lived experience. I believe that connection to each other, our stories, and our true selves can facilitate amazing growth and healing.

My practice is virtual only, seeing clients in Individual therapy, Family therapy & Group therapy.
Somewhere along our life’s journey, we may have lost our “true self.” Somewhere in our past, we may have gotten stuck, thinking “I am not my best self.” We may know exactly when this shift happened, we may not. It is my belief that being in an empathic, non-judgmental and trusting therapeutic relationship can support you in living the life you always wanted.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions!
I have clinical experience working with those presenting with anxiety and depression as well as low self-esteem, transition problems, racial and other multicultural issues, grief, relational issues (marital or peer), and familial distress. I believe that with genuine care, support, and accountability, we can tackle your goals with more understanding and willingness.
Though change can be difficult, I believe it is more attainable with a genuine therapeutic relationship working to bolster you. As humans, connection and support are necessities- especially when we are working to live a life worth living.

Hi, I’m Marie! —an inclusive psychotherapist, fellow human, and someone who knows that real healing involves more than meditation and breathing exercises (though, if that's your thing, I'm all for it). With over a decade of experience in the mental health field, I work with a diverse range of individuals and couples navigating complex trauma, childhood wounds, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I’m an affirming, culturally responsive therapist who proudly welcomes clients of all ages, identities, and backgrounds, with a deep commitment to serving BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities.

I am only offering tele-therapy, and am offering tele-therapy through video and/or phone to all who want to be seen during this time.
Hi, I’m Sarah, I’m glad you’re here. Maybe you've become so busy managing life that you've lost touch with yourself. You may find yourself constantly overthinking, carrying the weight of others' expectations, feeling disconnected, or wondering why life feels so heavy even when you're doing everything "right." I believe healing isn't about becoming someone different—it's about reconnecting with who you already are. I help adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions create more grounded, meaningful lives.

Currently offering both in-person and virtual sessions to individuals, adolescents, and couples.
I wholeheartedly believe in the power of therapy and the fact that everyone deserves a safe space to share, learn, and explore their own experiences throughout their life’s journey. My approach is best described as warm, compassionate, thoughtful, and direct. The idea of healing and growing is something that is continuous. We are the authors of our own stories, and we have the power to find our own narrative and write our next chapters!

Reach out to me through Psychology Today and we can set up a virtual or in person appointment at my office in Hyde Park.
My goal as a therapist is to foster freedom and fulfillment and be an honest companion for part of your journey. I love people and their stories. Nothing is too strange, too dark, or too “insignificant.” Stigma, shame, fear, and minimizing keep people trapped in dark places. Helping you get out of those places is my goal. I enjoy working with children and adolescents, as well as adults. I am most knowledgeable in anxiety, trauma, OCD, phobias, sexual trauma, abusive dynamics, self-injury, substance use, and the rural American experience. I specialize in what others may have called "weird" and "illogical" responses to stressors.

I adopt a collaborative, person-centered approach to therapy, believing that every client deserves to be understood as a whole person within the context of their unique life experiences. I am deeply committed to viewing clients through a holistic lens, recognizing that true healing comes from considering the many interconnected aspects of their lives—emotional, social, environmental, and beyond. I am passionate about empowering individuals by focusing on their strengths and resilience, helping them navigate challenges and move toward their goals with confidence.

Our lives are shaped by the stories we carry, the relationships we've had, and the systems we've moved through. Sometimes, we reach a point where it's time to understand those stories differently.
My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity and care as we explore who you are, what matters most to you, and the life you want to build. Drawing from relational therapy, somatics, art therapy, systems work, and politicized healing, I believe healing is not simply about feeling better, but about feeling more—making space for the full range of your experience with greater awareness, compassion, and choice.

FAQ - About Telehealth Therapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
