You already know that whatever brings you to counseling right now requires both the expertise of the counselor AND your own courage and willingness to look honestly at your self and your circumstances.
Not easy for you alone, or you wouldn’t be here. It takes both of us.
I can support and guide you as you explore the issues that bring you to BetterHelp and I can help you revitalize your self-care and your self-awareness.
I've been a therapist for 25 years and specialize in helping people cultivate the skills to address stress-reduction; completeness/healing with grief, loss and transition; healthy boundaries; self-care and self-compassion.
You must be willing to do your part.
We’ll use:
Honest conversation
Probing questions
Home assignments such as
reading
reflecting
mindfulness practices
journaling
to work with what’s getting in your way and get you reconnected with your wellbeing.
My many years of experience as a therapist and mindfulness educator can help you ease your load and rekindle your spark.

I’ve had 2 sessions so far with Marilyn Babcock & feel very heard in my therapy needs. She helps me find my grounding of thoughts into action. She also lets me be me. Im finding my session work with Marilyn a great fit & I’ve already taken some great forward steps in my life goals! I love there is self work (homework) in between sessions too. I feel seen & heard.

I’ve only had one session so it seems premature to give a full review. But so far she’s been very communicative, asks really good questions and listens well! She encouraging and very supportive.

I feel lucky to have found Marilyn. She's a friendly, empathetic, forthright expert who has already given me tons of insight in just a few sessions.

Marilyn has been a most excellent help— she has pushed me to consider more deeply the facets of my anxiety and negative thoughts which were ailing me. She has offered to me that I should be more compassionate and supportive if these feelings instead of being ashamed of and flippant with them, though pervasive as they may be. She has offered just enough support and contact without being overbearing and I know that should I need a video or phone conference, she would be available for my support. I feel I have come away with a more inquisitive and open way of addressing new fears and emotions and that I have a more positive self image over all. I have never engaged in any other sort of therapy, so I have no comparison, but I am extremely satisfied with the care I received with Marilyn and BetterHelp and would highly recommend anyone considering to give it a go. Thanks again, Marilyn!!

I've had an AMAZING experience with Marilyn. She's kind, thoughtful, and provides you with really good tools to navigate through your emotions and make responsible life decisions. She provides coaching where you find yourself finding your own answers and feeling great about how you move forward with these. She's been a great therapist to me. I really feel my life has improved tremendously with her help.
