Life if full of challenges, but you don't have to go it alone. As your therapist I can support you through the ups and downs of being a student.

Hello, my name is Marlayna Anderson. As your therapist, my mission is to be sensitive to your beliefs and values by providing you with a supportive non-judgmental safe space that allows you to open up and talk freely. Together we well work on identifying your goals and get to the core of what is concerning you in your everyday life; whether that be challenges from a past or current relationship, work/school, family conflicts, anxiety or grief. My aim is to elevate you in achieving your full potential! I have success in empowering young adults who are in school and transitioning to post graduation to adults who are transitioning within their careers and personal life. I am also an EMDR trained clinician who provides support to adults who have experienced traumatic events in their past. My approach to therapy is client centered and I believe in tailoring my therapeutic techniques around you to meet your needs. You can count on me to be there every step of the way. Please feel free to reach out and book a free 15-minute phone consultation, where I provide the opportunity to get to know each other.
