Therapy for Your Whole Self
Rediscover a Sense of Calm,
Wellbeing and Connection
Evidence-Based Therapeutic Approaches
Dr. Ioana Marcus
My psychotherapy practice is founded on creating a safe space for you to become your most authentic self. I focus on understanding your past experiences, including family, relationships, trauma or mental health concerns that have been hindering your growth, but also supporting you to step into your life HERE and NOW.
My support for you is walking the walk with you. We will explore how to fully live and thrive in the present, grow to your fullest potential, and beyond what you imagine for yourself.
I take a client-focused approach, meet where you are and choose the approach that best serves you and your needs. As a lifelong learner, I integrate trauma-focused practices, equine therapy, mindfulness in nature, and somatic experiential therapeutic sessions.
