Marina Sarli

My therapeutic approach is integrative, evidence-based, trauma and grief informed and tailored to each client’s needs. While my training has been primarily rooted in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and approaches such as Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), I incorporate elements from relational, person-centered, and systemic therapies to ensure holistic care. At the core of my work is the therapeutic relationship— built on trust, mutual understanding, and open communication. Through our collaboration, we will explore the patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, behaviors, discover how past experience influence your interpersonal relationships, and develop healthier beliefs and strategies that align with your personal values and goals. The first session is always an intake, during which I aim to get a thorough overview of your history, current situation and needs. After we have a good understanding of your needs, we can work on setting goals for your therapy sessions. The themes we can work on include: • Stress, anxiety, and depression • Relationship dynamics and attachment difficulties • Work-related anxiety, motivation, and performance concerns • Loneliness, grief, and life transitions • Self-image, self-esteem, and identity exploration (including gender and sexual identity) • Emotional regulation and behavior modification through evidence-based strategies In each session, we will work together to uncover the strengths and tools that will support your journey toward greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and personal growth. Booking & Cancellation Policy In order to book an appointment you can send me a direct message and we'll find which day and time works best for both our schedules. If you want to discuss sliding scale fee option, don't hesitate to bring it up in your introduction! In case you need to change or cancel the appointment, 24 hour notice is required to avoid getting charged for the session's rate. Looking forward to working with you!
