Marsenia Smalls, LGPC

My name is Marsenia, but you can call me Mars for short. I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist with a specialization in Family and Marriage counseling.  

Do you find yourself with heightened emotions and navigating effective coping mechanisms? Experiencing issues with your spouse? Whether you are struggling with anxiety or feelings of uncertainty, please take a virtual seat in creating a safe space to express your deepest emotions. 

I understand each individual is uniquely crafted from each experience of their lives. I assist clients with a holistic framework to overcome challenges. You and I will have the opportunity to work as a team to find the best treatment that fits your desired goals and needs.
 

My ambition is to utilize my passion and knowledge to instill an impact on the clients I encounter. I am interested in seeing clients 16 years of age and older with varying issues including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, PTSD, trauma, as well as working with couples and the LGBTQIA community. In addition I have experience working with couples who are experiencing challenges with communication, infidelity, conflict resolution and more. 

A few interesting things about myself are that  I enjoy creative expression through painting, drawing, writing poetry and a lot of DIY activities. Over the years I have learned that one of  the biggest obstacles we face sometimes is ourselves.
