Welcome! 

My name is Terra Marzano (she/her), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker living on the Oregon Coast.  I provide psychotherapy for adults living anywhere in Oregon and Washington. 

I am happy you are here.

When we are hurting— whether from a break-up, trauma, physical illness, ongoing relationship stress, grief— we can feel anxious, disconnected, and lost.  The world is not easy on us, and being human is hard!  You don't have to navigate the hard stuff on your own. 

Having a dedicated space where we feel safe, accepted, and nurtured can bring immense relief.  My approach is warm, interactive, and curious; together, we can do the hard work of healing so you can enjoy a deeper and more compassionate relationship with yourself and others.  I welcome your full humanness into the therapy room, where we can reflect, examine, honor, and celebrate together.  

 What I do

I’m an experienced psychotherapist who helps adults explore and heal the deeper roots of their distress. I work from a trauma-informed, psychodynamic lens, attuning to the unconscious patterns and emotional experiences that shape how we move through the world. While my work is insight-oriented, we will also identify simple, practical coping strategies that offer relief and can strengthen your capacity to navigate daily life with greater ease. My approach is warm and dynamic, guided by deep curiosity, supporting clients in developing greater self-understanding and emotional resilience in order to create lasting and meaningful change.
