Find a Mental Health Professional Near Me in Norwich, CT

I enjoy supporting children, adults, and families as they navigate major life transitions, like pregnancy, blended families, and moving. I also work closely with chronic illness and chronic pain patients. My current research focuses on the ways in which healthcare providers can be better trained to support patients, avoiding medical trauma and gaslighting. I specialize in the use of drama therapy, a creative and embodied approach. Drama therapy uses play, metaphor, role, and story to help people of all ages, identities, and abilities to create meaningful change. Using a dramatic approach to therapy makes the process less scary and more approachable. By stepping into another role or placing our personal stories in metaphor, we feel safer to discuss difficult topics and explore new ways of feeling and thinking.

Hi! I’m a licensed psychotherapist and my practice is dedicated to supporting millennial women as they navigate motherhood. Whether that be deciding if motherhood is right for you, pregnancy, postpartum struggles, or relationship dynamic issues. As a millennial mom of 2 myself, I truly understand the challenges that come with being a woman and a mother. Our generation is breaking a lot of cycles and while that is so healing, it can also be very overwhelming. No matter where you are in your journey, I’m here to support you. I offer a personal-centered approach with warmth, compassion, humor, and safety.

¡Hola! I'm Marly and I'm a trained birth and postpartum doula currently working towards DONA certification. I am passionate about families and attachment, and always in awe of childbirth and babies. Through my work as a mental health therapist, I came to realize how precious birth and postpartum are in anchoring attachment. So here I am! A little about me - I'm a mom to three awesome little ladies, and wife to an active duty sailor. In my free time I like to read, nap and sometimes jog/run. Thank you for your consideration!

I am a skilled and sought after clinical social worker. I have my masters degree in social work and have been working with children, adolescents and families for over 15 years. One of my favorite parts of this work is forming supportive, helpful relationships with clients as we navigate life challenges and transitions together. I have an eclectic approach to treatment, meaning that I believe there is no one way to heal and grow. I enjoy sharing ideas and resources with clients. This can include traditional talk therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), working with family members, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, Reiki healing, collaborating with other professionals to support clients in their care - and so much more! Currently, I am working with parents in the perinatal phase of parenthood, as well as adults navigating transitions, anxiety, grief and loss, parenting and couples work. I identify as a cis, white, heterosexual female and use she/her pronouns.
