Founder & Clinician (She/Her)

Non-judgemental & collaborative approach

Therapy should be accessible and comfortable for everyone, and as such, I promote LGBTQ + equality, support all expressions of gender identity, and believe in body positivity and Health At Every Size (HAES). I believe that each person is the expert of their own life- and it’s a privilege to be a part of your journey and recovery. Therapy is right for anyone who is interested in getting more out of life by taking responsibility, enhancing self-awareness, and working toward change.

Hi, I'm Marah

I founded Insightful Counseling, LLC as a way to help meet the growing need for high-quality, person-centered, trauma-informed, and affirmative counseling services. Regardless of who you are or how you identify, you are welcome here.

You are enough.

Therapy works best when you are working with a therapist who is a good fit for you. I’ve done my best to be clear on who I am and the services I am competent in, so that my client’s investment of time and resources is worthwhile.

Therapeutic Approach

Currently, I am providing individual and family therapy via telehealth. My approach is highly personalized, integrating evidence-based techniques to help clients achieve powerful change. Modalities I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Exposure Response Prevention, Family Systems Theory, Family Based Therapy, DBT, and Trauma-Focused CBT.

Areas of Specialty

Trauma & Mood Disorders

Whether your mood instability is due to trauma, a difficult situation, or a mood disorder, I can help you to find relief and start feeling more like yourself. I can help teach you skills that will combat negative thoughts and turn around unpleasant moods.

Eating Disorders

I specialize in helping clients overcome eating disorders and body image concerns. Using a Health at Every Size (HAES) approach and incorporating Intuitive Eating principles, I will help you to achieve peace with food.

Anxiety Disorders

Using CBT and Exposure Response Prevention, I will help you tame your anxiety and take back control of your life. You will build the confidence and courage to resist unhelpful avoidance and confront your most challenging anxiety triggers.
