Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor

Supervised by Ginny Gutman, LCSW

Hello! My name is Maren (MAR-n) and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT #149183, and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor, APCC #17584, supervised by Virginia Gutman, LCSW (LCSW91804). I am passionate about creating a safe and welcoming space for people of all different backgrounds and life stages. My goal is partner alongside my clients while they walk their healing journey, giving them tools and support along the way. I use person-centered, trauma-informed, and neuroaffirming care to provide support to children, teens, adults, and families.

Clinical Experience

My clinical experience includes working with the neurodivergent population with individuals and family systems in order to find a more stable and healthier homeostasis. I support parents with understanding their children’s needs and find new ways to support their family system. I also have experience helping individuals at higher levels of care navigate a variety of mental health challenges including personality, anxiety, depression, and trauma disorders. I have extensive knowledge supporting clients achieve their goals, which may include safety, building up their coping skills, healing from challenging situations, fostering healthier relationships, or living a value-centered life.

I utilize motivational interviewing (MI), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), trauma-informed therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and internal family systems (IFS) to support individuals and families in meeting their goals. I always strive to lead with curiosity and join with individuals and families to support them in creating a treatment plan that is right for them. I consider it a great honor to be a part of someone’s journey and I hope to build a space where healing and personal power can not only grow, but thrive.
