Marie Sangel

My communication style

My communication style is gentle, understanding, and collaborative to provide you with a sense of safety and control. I occasionally use art and writing to help you express difficult emotions and uncover deeper meanings that can be validating and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I struggled to find words to describe my feelings, which led to feeling alone and disconnected. I eventually found purpose in my struggles and became interested in what makes people feel connected. I began as a school counselor, then worked at treatment centers gaining experience with addiction and co-occurring disorders.

My goals for you

Goal setting starts with identifying factors that have become barriers to functioning effectively. We collaborate in creating your treatment goals to form an individualized plan based on your unique and specific needs.

Our first session

During our first session, I welcome you to ask questions about therapy and its process to help ease into our work together. I will also ask you questions similar to an intake or assessment process so we can both understand what goals to focus on and what we need to prioritize.
