How Thrive Pathways Counseling Can Help

Marlene Riggs, LCSW, provides professional individual, couples, and family counseling to help clients heal, increase hope, and progress towards more fulfilling and meaningful paths.

Life can bring unexpected hardships that leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or distressed. I offer a compassionate presence and a supportive space, along with evidence-based treatments, to honor your experiences and challenges. Together, we’ll navigate a personalized path toward healing and growth. Through an integrative approach, I support clients in developing healthier self-perceptions and building stronger, more fulfilling relationships. I am committed to helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, trauma, ongoing grief and loss, relationship difficulties, eating disorders, feelings of guilt and shame, life transitions, addiction, parenting concerns, and issues specific to women.

 

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, young adults, couples, and adults. I have experience in health care and clinical social work. I worked at an eating disorder residential treatment facility. I worked at a substance use residential treatment facility. I am a Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) Practitioner, which is a highly effective trauma treatment. I am an EMDRIA Approved EMDR Therapist. I have obtained several certificates in various therapeutic interventions and have applied these methods with my clients both in individual, couples, and family sessions, and group settings.  These interventions include Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Mind Body Bridging, Substance Use treatment, Motivational Interviewing, Emotionally Focused Individual therapy (EFIT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I endeavor to help you feel understood and valued in a safe, authentic, and restorative therapeutic relationship.

Growth often emerges from challenges. I will collaborate with you within the framework of your own value system to help move you towards a path filled with hope, healing, connection, meaning, and joy. I believe in your power to overcome your challenges and would feel privileged to accompany you on your journey towards healing and wellness. If you feel I would be a good fit for your journey, please reach out. I would love to support you!
