Marikay Vanderven

I have been a practicing counselor for over twenty years. After completing a B.A. in psychology and M.A. in mental health counseling in 1992, I received extensive training in structural family therapy and strategic therapy. As a professional counselor, I have received comprehensive training in the area of trauma-based therapy and adjustment issues. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families.

I seek to support, challenge, and advocate for my clients. I collaborate with clients to develop coping strategies and long-term solutions to the challenges they face. Our sessions are two-way conversations where we work together to plan for positive change.

Clients will come to understand that I am an ally and supporter and will encourage them to be active participants in the therapy process .
