People come into my office for many reasons, and the struggle is often that they are dealing with a problem that seems too overwhelming and too complex to handle by themselves. As a result they feel stuck and not able to see a way out. I combine my knowledge of perceptual balancing, neuroscience and Body Psychotherapy to offer a new perspective that is designed to get to the heart of the issue, integrate it and provide the client with new possibilities.

I'm a somatic psychotherapist who focuses on working with people on the spiritual path who are ready to find their way to and through stuck places and buried feelings. I have decades of experience in helping people grow and change. My goal in working with you is to increase your capacity to feel more deeply--the emotions of your heart and the sensations of your body--and face parts of yourself that are scary and difficult to access so that you can live your life with energy, wisdom and love. We all come into this world with some kind of wound that is both our nemesis and our salvation. We face illnesses, inner obstacles, unresolved fears, and deep life challenges that seek to break our sense of control--and ultimately, to break our hearts open. I look forward to hearing from you to see how you might be able to grow and heal.

I believe therapy is a rare and special experience, where clients are empowered to navigate the complex and often overwhelming terrain that is the human experience. By traversing the paths of stored thought and behavior patterns that often restrict our fullness of being, one is given the opportunity to restore vitality and approach life with more energy and direction. I prefer to work in conjunction with clients around issues regarding life transitions, self-esteem, relationship, stress, anxiety and depression. I received my master’s degree from Naropa University in Transpersonal Counseling and draw from Gestalt, mind-body disciplines and other eclectic therapies. I offer a free consultation and a sliding scale when possible. Please check out my website for more information at www.mariettaskeen.com
