Tammy Marcus

With over thirty years of clinical experience in the mental health field, working in both private practice and hospital settings, I offer a strong mix of approaches that will best support your personal needs and life situation. Therapy assists with increasing self awareness, self worth and acceptance, processing unresolved issues, and building skills that improve relationships, mood, and management of life’s stressful situations.

My work integrates Relational, Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, Somatic, Attachment- based, Emotion Focused, and Trauma Therapy. In couples therapy, I utilize a combination of training from the Couple’s Institute Developmental Model, Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples (EFT), Tammy Nelson’s Sex Therapy training, Relational, and Psychodynamic approaches.

When working with families who have teens or young adults, my work is informed by Attachment Based Family Therapy (ABFT). ABFT is a research based therapy and I have found this model to be beneficial for helping parents and youth repair ruptures and develop more emotionally secure relationships, which helps to decrease depression in young people. A family commitment of between 14-20 sessions is required.

As the quality of the therapeutic relationship is essential, I strive to create a warm and safe environment for therapy to occur. Clients often share that they appreciate my warm, empathic and direct approach. Through therapy clients often discover a sense of greater clarity, connection, meaning, peace, and freedom in their lives.
