Marlee Kruzel, M.S.

Mental Health Practitioner

“Deciding to attend therapy is a courageous step in your journey toward personal change and healing, and I am honored to walk alongside you. I offer therapy services to support individuals in building resilience, managing difficult emotions, and developing self-acceptance. I believe you are the expert in your life, and my role is to walk beside you providing support, insight, and guidance as you create change in your life and achieve your goals. Our time together would be interactive, collaborative, and compassionate and may include problem-solving, learning and practicing skills, overcoming barriers, psychoeducation, and identifying ineffective thoughts and behaviors. Together, we work toward the healing and growth that you long for. It is a privilege to partner with you as you create your best life.”
