Marija Marinkovic, LCSW — Therapist in New York

Hi there, I'm Marija!

I prioritize the uniqueness of each individual's history, experiences, and emotional landscape. My approach centers on fostering a strong therapeutic partnership tailored to your specific needs. I work with clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and OCD.

My focus

I primarily work with adults and older adults. I typically treat individuals with anxiety and depressive disorders, OCD, and trauma. I have experience working with individuals who suffer from various long-term chronic illnesses and neurological conditions such as stroke, brain injury, and multiple sclerosis.

My approach

I utilize a Person-Centered Approach to explore feelings and self-concept, along with CBT, Solution-Focused, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and EMDR. I apply keen attunement to my clients' emotions and needs. I prioritize flexibility in my methods, skillfully adapting between various therapeutic approaches to best support each individual.

My communication style

My approach to therapy is warm and supportive, creating a safe space for you to explore your emotions. At the same time, I believe in the importance of gently challenging you when appropriate. This balance helps you gain new insights and perspectives, encouraging personal growth and resilience.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I've always had a strong drive to help people. My prior career in music allowed me to connect with others, but I often found myself drawn to their histories and life experiences. People would confide in me, and I realized I wanted to do more to support them.

My goals for you

By combining empathy with structured guidance, I create a supportive framework for you to work toward your goals, empowering you to make meaningful changes in your life.

Our first session

During our first session, my primary goal is to learn as much as possible about you. This helps me gain a deeper understanding of your unique experiences, challenges, and aspirations. By exploring your background, values, and concerns, I can better identify the most effective ways we can work together to accomplish your therapy goals.
