Marsha Pontius

Many people excel at caring for others yet struggle to care for themselves. If you’re highly empathetic, you may have found yourself wondering how you ended up feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burdened, or alone—despite your best intentions.

If you’re experiencing grief, anxiety, racing thoughts, or difficulty functioning the way you used to, therapy may be the next right step. Healing is possible. Relief is possible. There are practical ways to process the past, find steadiness in the present, and move forward with hope.

I’m Marsha Pontius, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with individuals (insurance or private pay) and couples (private pay) navigating life’s challenges. My experience in complex, emotionally demanding settings allows me to bring both skill and compassion to every session.

Along with traditional therapy, I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and incorporate other evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs.

You don’t have to carry everything alone. Healing can start with a conversation.

I firmly believe in everyone’s capacity for growth and transformation. Each day I witness the strength and resilience of my clients as they take meaningful steps forward through our collaborative work. My approach is grounded in empathy and free of judgment. I draw from a range of therapeutic methods to support clients in gaining insight, healing, and a deeper sense of empowerment in their lives.

Clients can expect to leave sessions with greater clarity, emotional insight, and practical tools to navigate life’s challenges. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood, and where meaningful change can begin. Over time, clients often experience increased self-awareness, improved coping skills, and a stronger sense of empowerment in their daily lives.
