MARLIE STANDEN

Marlie considers adolescence an essential time to cultivate a compassionate relationship with one's self, nurturing and healthy connections with others, and to develop resiliency that promotes greater wellbeing throughout the lifespan. Marlie has experience working with youth, adolescents, young adults and their families. Marlie has had diverse work experience, including youth with disabilities and their families, general mental health for adolescents and adults, and addictions and concurrent disorders. Marlie also has specialized training in treating insomnia.

Therapeutically, Marlie takes an attachment- and trauma-informed and strengths-based approach to working with her clients. Marlie uses an integrated approach uniquely fitted to each client’s needs which draws on various evidence-based approaches, including: internal family systems (IFS), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based therapies, emotionally-focused family therapy, body-based interventions, and some cognitive-behavioural therapies. Marlie has completed additional training in IFS, EFFT, Narrative therapy, ACT and CBT-Insomnia.

Marlie sees individual teens, adults and families.
