Marielena Obrernic work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, addiction, relationship and parenting issues, emotional trauma, self-esteem issues, and navigating life transitions. My practice takes a multifaceted-holistic approach that is grounded in Bert Hellinger Family System Theory, though I incorporate a variety of modalities including Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and
Solution Focused Brief Therapy. I tailor my work in order to best fit the needs and personality of those I work with. I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental environment for my clients. I also firmly believe that while therapy can be at times emotionally challenging, as much as possible it should be approached with a sense of humor and lightness. It is my passion to help children and adults through individual and group counseling find balance while they are struggling with life changing events and the daily pressures in their lives. I believe active listening, empathy, and the therapeutic relationship provide the foundation for positive change through counseling. I understand that children often do not have the vocabulary to express their feelings and need to be able to do so through other mediums such as play, art, games, and sand tray work. I can help with ADHD, defiance, depression, anxiety, divorce, grief and loss, anger, self-esteem, and other concerns. It would be my privilege to help guide you or your child to make positive changes in your lives. As a Therapist and an Educator, my passion is working with children and adults to help them seek resolution to issues that are preventing them from enjoying their lives. I see myself as helping people discover the “thinker” behind their thoughts and the “choice maker” behind their choices. My goal is to help each client achieve greater self-awareness and move past the fears and anxiety inherent in human existence, in order to reach the rewards of a life lived to the fullest.
