Hello, My name is Marlies Brandt, LCSW. Through working in outpatient mental health I havegained extensive experience helping people with a wide range of mental health symptoms. Some of the focuses I have worked with included depression, anxiety, mood disorders, chronic illness, relationship issues, and parenting challenges. I specialize in working with clients who have experienced trauma or are struggling with PTSD, providing trauma-informed care.
I take pride in providing a caring and non-judgmental environment for clients to share their stories. Together, we will collaborate, assessing past experiences, and determining how this affects your currentsituation, identifying goals, and exploring any changes that you are looking to make. Each client's journey is different. By creating an atmosphere where you can express yourself and feel heard, we will be able to discover the approach that will work best for you. I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectual Behavioral Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing in my sessions. Here, you can expect compassion, guidance, and care.
