Marilyn Rifkin
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW, FIPA, BCpsa
Do you suffer from anxiety, depression, PTSD, loneliness or grief? I am here to help. I am a board certified psychotherapist and psychoanalyst with over 30 years of experience specializing in adult, child and couples therapy. I treat people struggling with a wide range of issues and have had great success helping those who have tried therapy in the past without obtaining the results they’d hoped for. My focus is on deepening self-awareness as a means of decreasing symptoms while increasing autonomy, creativity and an overall sense of satisfaction in life.
We are all individuals with a unique story that requires compassionate listening and personalized attention. My approach is client-centered and psychodynamic and I have extensive expertise in the areas of relationship conflicts, family and parenting issues, depression, isolation, Intimacy problems, separation, loss and mourning.
In addition to private practice, I teach and supervise trainees and have a wide network of colleagues. I am available for consultation and referral as needed. Feel free to call me with any questions and concerns you may have about yourself or about treatment.
