Marion Greenwood, MSW, LCSW, DBT, EMDR

Let me guess…You've tried a lot to feel better (yes, even therapy). But nothing’s changed + you still feel the same. You are looking for something different. You take really good care of yourself. You’ve read all the latest self-help books, meditate daily, and exercise, but none of that really seems to help. Maybe you get some temporary relief but sooner or later you find yourself back where you started - lost, stuck and defeated. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before but that didn't help either. You’re tired of running on overdrive and you have a sense that you need to go deeper. Traditional methods aren’t helping and you’re looking for a different way. My Approach Traditional therapy can be so stale and impersonal. Trust me, I get it, and it’s why I’m committed to showing up authentically. During therapy, I’ll provide you with an open space to share whatever is coming up (even + especially all the uncomfortable stuff). No topic is off-limits- I’ll be there to listen, validate, and sometimes give you a slight nudge. Therapy can be hard but I’ll be there to support you + we’ll always be moving at a pace that feels right to you. I take a modern approach to therapy. I believe we are so much more than our thoughts and healing just can’t happen without a dual focus on the body. I do a lot of breath work, mindfulness, and visualization with clients in session, in addition to using EMDR, DBT and IFS (which are powerful methods that can feel like real change). I believe in the power of connecting to something greater, whatever that might mean for you. Ultimately, my approach will always be personalized + tailored to you. At each session, we’ll work from exactly where you are while always keeping your big vision in mind. Together, we'll work on clearing current blocks and doing the work to bring you closer to the best version of you. With over 16 years of experience in private practice, hospitals, schools, and community mental health, I understand that seeking support is a big step. My goal is to create a safe, empowering space where you feel heard, valued, and equipped to build the life you want.
