Marietha Destin

Being a therapist is an honor and a privilege. I love that I get to help my clients feel good about themselves and create more balanced and fulfilling lives. The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is seeing my clients feeling good about themselves; loving, trusting and accepting themselves; and responding to life's challenges in effective and healthy ways.

I am committed to guiding you to where you feel more ease as you go through your day and life feels manageable again.

I am Compassionate and Bring a Calming and Grounding Presence to the Therapy Space.

As a Therapist, I Embrace the Following Philosophies

• I believe that you deserve to feel better.
• I believe that you are worthy of love and care.
• I believe that emotions heal when they are witnessed and validated.
• I believe that loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, scars and all, is one of the most courageous and powerful things we can do.
• I believe that working on ourselves is the greatest gift we can give to ourselves and the world.
• I believe healing happens when we pay attention to our inner world.

My experience includes 18 years working with individuals, couples, and families in the areas of anxiety, complex trauma, childhood emotional neglect, childhood sexual abuse, substance abuse/addiction, and relationships.

I have also worked as crisis counselor and intervention counselor (12 years) and an elementary school teacher (6 years) for the Hillsborough County School District.
