Marilyn Brodersen, LMFT
About me
As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship dynamics, and personal growth, with particular expertise in supporting adults through significant life stages.
I bring a compassionate and nuanced approach to therapy, drawing from extensive clinical experience to help individuals work through issues like isolation, grief, body image concerns, and workplace challenges. My therapeutic style emphasizes understanding each person's unique journey, with a deep commitment to supporting clients in rediscovering purpose, managing shame and guilt, and developing healthier emotional patterns.
My work centers on creating a supportive environment where clients can explore difficult emotions, heal from past experiences, and develop meaningful strategies for personal transformation. I am dedicated to walking alongside individuals as they build resilience, self-understanding, and renewed hope.
