About

My name is Marlyn (Marleen) Tavira; I am a first-generation college student and a licensed clinical social worker with a certification in oncology as well as hospice and palliative care. I have ten years of experience in a medical setting working with patients and their families. Life can be difficult at times, and you don't always know how to deal with a new medical diagnosis, work/life stressors, or other life-changing events, which is why I am here to walk you this journey with you, whatever it may look like. I work with clients who are having difficulty adjusting to a life-changing event, such as a new medical diagnosis, such as cancer, infertility, a new baby, or a challenging situation, and dealing with work/life stressors. Clients are given the opportunity to speak their true feelings in a safe, non-judgment environment. Therapy is about what the client wants to talk about and how comfortable they are with sharing certain issues. Specialties: Clients are given the opportunity to speak their true feelings in a safe, non-judgment environment. Therapy is about what the client wants to talk about and how comfortable they are with sharing certain issues. As we build rapport, I like to work alongside the client to formulate attainable goals and address issues that are important to the client. Credentials & Experience: I work with clients who are having difficulty adjusting to a life-changing event, such as a new medical diagnosis, such as cancer, infertility, a new baby, or a challenging situation, and dealing with work/life stressors.

"My approach is client-centered in working with clients to meet them where they are at any given moment. When it comes to theories, I look to evidence-based modalities such as Family Systems Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Crisis Intervention Model, and Task-Centered Practice."
