Marriage Counseling Therapists in Brooklyn, NY
My areas of interest include trauma work, depression, coping with a partner's illness, life transitions, and pre- marital counseling.
Psychotherapy provides a truly counter-cultural opportunity to have an in-depth conversation and to experience the transforming power of being deeply listened to and understood. Even the most painful life experiences can be bearable when explored with a supporting other. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment where together, we can address unhappy & overwhelming moods, relationship struggles or feelings that get in the way of moving forward. Whether it's long-term, in-depth therapy or a short term solution-focused treatment, therapy can really make a positive difference in how you see yourself and the world around you.

Currently Macarena’s private practice is fully remote and specializes in the following areas of women’s mental health: anxiety, depression, trauma, relational challenges, life transitions such as marriage, divorce, relocation, career changes, retirement, college and more; Maternal mental health (prenatal and postpartum support); and Corporate/Workplace mental health & well-being workshops.
In tandem with more traditional talk therapy, the creative process enables our ability to increase self-awareness and insight, moving beyond the defenses we've developed. Sometimes words cannot explain everything that we feel. I encourage my clients to safely create art in order to elicit emotional material that may be difficult to express with words alone

As an Individual, Group and Marital therapist I diagnose the problem and set the means for resolution.
Hello and welcome to my profile.
By now I would assume that you've read several profiles on the "Psychology Today" site and by this point they are probably all sounding astonishingly similar. That's got to be frustrating.
I hope that the following information concerning my practice doesn't have the same effect.
Let me be brief: I work with a multitude of issues and problems that relate to: couples, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also work with addictions including eating disorders. My approach can help you work through unconscious conflict (repeating patterns again and again without understanding why) as well as compulsive behaviors such as drinking, thought ruminating and habitual behaviors that are difficult to control.I can help you 'evolve' out of your particular problem. I am supportive and reality based while I can always find humor in the worst and the best of times. Together we can turn this all around and get you to where you want to be.

Marriage Counseling Therapists
How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
