“Speech affects the mind and through the mind’s physical structure - the nervous system - the chemistry of the body. It would probably take hundred’s of years to compound the exquisitely precise chemicals which each patient needs to get well. But his body has its own chemical laboratory; and the psychotherapist, through his words and attitudes, tries to stimulate it to produce those chemicals. The personality can be employed in an infinite number of ways to create different psychological effects and control the dosages for each patient and situations. To advance the science and art of producing psychological stimuli is the concern of the research minded practitioner.”

Marian graduated from CU with a BA in Women’s Studies and an MSW from Smith College School for Social work. She chose her path sensing that healing for both herself, her family and for others would take, to start, seeing the world in a new way. Seeing differently and learning has become a lifelong process for Marian. Upon graduation, she entered into individual and group supervision in order to meet the requirements for licensure, continuing both to this day. Along the way, Marian has worked with and learned from an eclectic mix of practitioners. Her theoretical foundations and modalities include psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, neurobiologic, attachment, trauma, contemplative, EMDR & group. Through all of this, Marian has had the pleasure of supervising individuals as well as working with individuals, couples, & families in her private practice, community clinics, residential treatment centers & universities. Currently, Marian is focusing on modern psychoanalysis through the Center for Group Studies and the Center for Modern Psychoanalytic Studies in New York. She is also the president-elect of Four Corners Group Psychotherapy Society.
