About me

We all deserve a safe space to sit back and reflect on our lives. Within these safe spaces, we are able to address and explore issues that may be preventing us from living the life we want, free of expectations and judgment. I am committed to providing safe spaces and highly dedicated to human concerns especially with regard to the emotional and psychological impact of trauma.
I have experience dealing with a wide range of concerns and diagnoses including depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, self-esteem, career issues, relationship/family issues, life transitions, and grief and loss. My clients are diverse and range in age, ethnicity, and gender.
To meet the needs of this diversity, I employ a therapeutic approach that is eclectic and pull from a body of empirically-based approaches to suit the diverse needs of my clients.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Marsja Stearnes. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I love having Marsja as a counselor, when we talk you can tell that she genuinely cares about the things going on in my
life and she always helps me find a resolution to whatever struggle I’m going through. 10/10 recommend!

Written on Jan 17, 2021 after therapy with Marsja for 4 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, intimacy-related issues, parenting issues, self esteem, and compassion fatigue

I’ve went through a few counselors on Betterhelp, but Marsja is the one that made me stay on Betterhelp. She is exactly what I was looking for. With other counselors I felt like I was just talking to myself for thirty minutes, but she helps guide the conversation, gives intuitive advice and makes connections in your life that you may not even know existed. And as a plus, she is a genuinely funny, interesting and compassionate person. Couldn’t think of a better counselor for me!
