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 works part-time with our team and full time with a Toronto Family Health Team. She’s experienced in working with youth, adolescents, young adults and 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.

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), mindfulness-based therapies, Emotionally-focused Family Therapy (EFFT), body-based interventions, and some Cognitive-behavioural therapies. Marlie has completed additional training in IFS, EFFT, Narrative therapy and CBT-Insomnia.

Marlie sees individual teens & adults.

Marlie practises at our Runnymede & Bloor location.
