Marian W. Horton
Therapist, Counselor, and Life/Career Coach
I am a compassionate, caring, and empathetic therapist who works with individuals diagnosed or dealing with anxiety and depression, ADD/ADHD, transition (divorce, empty nest, economic downturn), poor social skills (e.g. anger management), self-esteem, grief and loss, and childhood abuse; couples in conflict, who need mediation, or a relationship tune-up; and families in need of communication/conflict skills.
I have experience running psycho therapeutic groups and conducting psycho-educational workshops. I am a certified PAIRS Level I & II instructor. I have facilitated with Dr. Lynn Turner at A Center for Relationships leading PAIRS workshops for over ten years. In addition, I trained in emotional healing therapy with Dr. Turner for two years. I currently co-facilitate emotional healing workshop with Dr. Turner and other therapists.
I have extensive experience in career coaching, life coaching and mentoring. I have a unique understanding of how stress plays out in work and family life, how difficult it is to balance work and family, and how to achieve a satisfying joyful life in spite of the daily stressors.
