About Me

Hi I’m Paulette A. Marino LICSW

I am dedicated to helping adolescents and young adults manage the expectations of academics, work, athletics, friendships, social media and emotional challenges - like anxiety and depression.

I see therapy as a safe space to explore self identity - clarifying beliefs, values and how you want to show up in the world.

I offer a warm, collaborative space to explore what matters most to you, strengthen self-trust and develop skills to manage challenges that can hinder progress toward personal acceptance.

I believe growth happens when we approach every part of our story with curiosity and compassion. 

I integrate CBT, ACT, IFS, EMDR and mindfulness to create a flexible evidence-based plan to help you understand your thoughts and emotions, heal from any past trauma and build skills to manage any emotional dysregulation that might be getting in your way.

Life can feel overwhelming - especially during adolescence and young adulthood. It is inspiring to watch clients grow into their authentic selves and I would be honored to support you on your journey. If you are ready to begin, I invite you to reach out.

I worked in the Public Schools as an Adjustment Counselor for 15 years gaining in-depth knowledge of the special education process. This experience helps me to support my clients in understanding how they learn and how that connects to their social-emotional growth and self understanding.
