Marie-Therese, LCSW

About Marie

I am Marie-Therese, better known as Marie. I have been interested in psychology and being a therapist since my “career field trip” days in high school. After graduating high school, I decided to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and then followed it with a masters in Social Work. I am trained in several aspects of psychotherapy; however, I must say that DBT is my favorite -for several different reasons. Here at the Dialectic Behavioral Center, I am honored to have the opportunity to assist our clients by being at their side providing individual therapy, family therapy, coaching and much more, to ensure their success not only in the program but in life as well. My goal as a therapist is to ensure that my clients learn and practice coping and emotion regulation skills which will allow them to live their best lives.
