Dr. Marie Davila-Woolsey

Hi, my name is Dr. Marie Davila-Woolsey and I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist. I've been working in the field of mental health for over twenty years in a variety of settings, including Community Mental Health directing a 50+ bed, 6-month recovery program, directing a psychology internship program, teaching parenting skills, and working with the seriously mentally ill. I have 10 years of private practice experience with individual adults, couples and families. I specialize in mood disorders such as depression, anxiety, and grief and loss. I also have extensive experience with pre-marital and marital counseling, addiction, life transitions, and major life events such as divorce and life-altering health issues.

I use a blend of approaches for short-term and long-term treatments. My approach is focused on compassion, forgiveness, empowerment, and moving forward. While Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the cornerstone of my practice, I gravitate towards Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Most often we fight within ourselves and in the process feel defeated, even angry. Acceptance can bring relief but it doesn't mean we give up. It is about moving beyond our challenges to find peace and strength to realize our goals in life. It's about self-compassion.

As your therapist, my focus is your emotional well-being. I provide a safe space for you to express your thoughts and feelings. I endeavor to understand your perspective and to help you clarify what you want for yourself in therapy and in life. My method is collaborative, compassionate and adaptable to your individual needs and objectives.
