I will be out of the office until June 23. If you are a new client, I’m happy to set up a free video consultation to see if you’d like to work with me. I’ll be available for those after June 8. Please email me to get in touch.
ADULTS: I specialize in helping clients improve communication skills, become more assertive, set (and enforce) healthy boundaries, and heal from past trauma. My practical and supportive approach might be a good match for you. I provide EMDR (trauma therapy) when needed/desired. Give me a call to talk about it.
I offer free video consultations (20 minutes) so clients can ask questions, get a sense of my style, and figure out if we might be a good match. Even if you end up choosing another therapist, many people find this consultation helpful. So feel free to reach out and set one up.
Call or Marina Blake now for a free 15 minute consultation - (610) 615-7965

Although I don't take insurance directly, a lot of my clients use their out-of-network benefits. I work with my clients so they have the best chance of reimbursement by their insurance. I also accept HSA and FSA funds, which can reduce the cost of therapy.

For couples, there is a detailed intake process to figure out exactly what you need so we aren't wasting time talking about fights all the time. For individuals, I listen to you about what your goals are, and we develop a plan together. For all my clients, if you have a skill area that isn't well developed, I teach you those skills to help you be more successful. I'm practical and supportive.

For couples, I primarily use Gottman Method, though I will bring in other things if appropriate. For individuals, I will use a variety of therapies, depending on what the client needs. I often do EMDR (trauma therapy), Mindfulness-based therapy, Cognitive Behavioral. Whatever I'm using, my approach is supportive and kind, and direct. Me just listening doesn't change your life, so I get in there.
