Marina Spitz

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate with a specialization in co-occurring disorders. I received my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling Integrated with Co-Occurring disorders from the Hazelden Betty Ford Graduate School in Center City, Minnesota. I hold previous job experience working in an inpatient treatment facility, holding individual sessions with clients and conducting group counseling sessions. Additionally, I hold a Substance Use Dependence Professional license, as something I specialize in is working with individuals struggling with substance abuse and dependence.

I have experience working with individuals struggling with a multitude of different mental health concerns including anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, and mood disorders, among others. I also have a background working with young children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, and/or other behavioral disorders.

PERSON CENTERED CARE

I work with the perspective of you being the expert of your own healing. My job as your therapist will be to help guide you, and uncover how we can best work together as a team to address concerns and build new skills, so you can live your life in contentment and serenity, the way that you want to live it. For young children, my goal is to help create a cohesive family unit, by teaching coping skills to your child while providing parental guidance to you.

HOW I HELP

My work is heavily influenced by my belief that the best healing happens when we work together. I incorporate several modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Narrative Theory, and Attachment Theory.

Let’s work together, to help you overcome life's challenges and barriers, becoming the best version of yourself that you can be! Life is about progress, never perfection.

MORE ABOUT ME

When I am not in the office, you will likely find me exploring the beauty of the world with childlike wonder! I enjoy traveling, and at least once a year you will find me at a Disney park. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, participating in outdoor activities, and playing softball on the weekends. While I consider myself an extrovert, sometimes nothing beats a hot cup of tea in front of my fireplace, with a good book and my two cats.
