Marilyn T. Oakes. C.R.C., L.C.P.C.


 

Philosophy of Psychotherapy:

"Pain is part of life but suffering is optional."  Problem solving in the here-and-now is the central focus of behavioral and cognitive-behavioral counseling.  While peak functioning may take time, my focus is quick strategies for maximum improvement and pain reduction, whenever possible.  I offer guided self-help to improve relationships and increase quality of life, 12-step after-care and family care, and mainstream Judaeo-Christian faith-based counseling, when asked.  You may laugh at trouble, or cry.  Laughing feels better.
