Welcome!
An psychoanalytic approach to mastering the balance of both mental & physical wellness
I have a mantra that says therapy is for everyone. Stigmas and misconceptions surrounding therapy can often deter individuals from seeking the help they need, particularly those struggling to balance their mental and physical wellness. I view therapy as an essential self-care practice that provides a supportive environment for individuals to process their thoughts and emotions. My approach centers on client needs, emphasizing empathy and compassion while empowering clients to develop healthier routines for managing anxiety, trauma, and stress.
Dedicating forty-five to fifty minutes out of your busy schedule to just process your thoughts, self-reflect, and focus on your self-awareness can offer insight into managing your worries. Let's goal plan, identify your support systems, or reframe perspectives on problems. Let's build your mental health toolbox together with trauma and solution-focused- evidence-based practices and practical coping strategies. I am already rooting for you.
My Story
Hi! My name is Marquisha Dunston. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in psychology and my Master's of Social Work Degree from Widener University. With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I am adept at crisis management, conducting assessments, developing personalized treatment plans, and advocating for clients within interdisciplinary teams. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, I am deeply committed to promoting social justice and equity in all facets of my practice. Compassionate, culturally competent, and continually evolving, I am driven by a passion for enhancing the well-being of individuals and communities while combating mental health stigma and fostering positive change within the field.
I am dedicated to empowering clients to embrace their rights to self-determination by offering a safe and supportive space for healing. My goal as a therapist is to empower clients to recognize their strengths and resiliency, enhancing their problem-solving skills to overcome personal challenges. Additionally, clients can expect to enhance their self awareness and introspection skills through the utilization of a therapeutic toolbox designed to address future challenges. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, and solution-focused therapy, offering a range of strategies and mindfulness tools for self-regulation.
Welcome to my platform, where I also combine my passion for mental health and sports to inspire change. Through workshops, public speaking engagements, and trauma-informed practice courses, I aim to educate and empower athletes and professionals alike. As a dedicated advocate and former collegiate athlete I am committed to dismantling the stigmas surrounding mental health and trauma in the sports community and beyond. Join me on this journey to create supportive and informed environment for all. --- free to let me know if you need any adjustments or additional content.
