Getting to know Marcia Branca

Hi, my name is Marcia Bradley Branca. I am licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California and Hawaii. I approach therapy as a co-created experience, inviting you to participate as deeply as you wish in a process of exploration and healing. My work with adults helps to identify areas that are causing stress or unhappiness and to find their way forward. I earned my bachelor's degree from Antioch College, which laid the foundation for my commitment to holistic and humanistic approaches in therapy. Trained in humanistic and transpersonal psychology, I use skills in CBT and somatically focused therapy to help clients know what is true for them and where they may be blocking their way. I see myself as both a partner and a guide in walking a pathway of growth. I work with individuals 18 and up, many of whom have survived dysfunctional families. Together, we explore the present, the past, and hope for the future, overcoming obstacles to greater life satisfaction. I'm an open and active listener, at times asking you to pause to deepen the connection between your words and your internal experience. Always a seeker, on my own journey of recovery I found that the deepest healing occurs with compassion and understanding. I have walked many paths and learned from many teachers. Integrating traditional psychological practices with cross-cultural wisdom provides a deep foundation for the journey to self-understanding and healing. In our first session, we will discuss what brings you in, clarify your goals, and identify how you would define and recognize success. I hope our time together will feel both safe and challenging as we create a path between now and where you want to be. I invite you to take time to focus on yourself, find new strengths, and learn what you truly need from yourself and others.
