Getting to know Marcia Kostoff
Welcome! Do you notice feeling overwhelmed or just not like yourself? Are you working to overcome trauma or compassion fatigue? You are in the right place. Together, I work with you to develop skills you can use in therapy and beyond. My name is Marcia Kostoff, and I am excited for the opportunity to meet with you.
Stress and anxiety, while normal parts of life, can quickly leave us feeling overwhelmed, our thoughts stuck on what-ifs or worst-case scenarios, and unsure where to turn. Changes in jobs, moving, family stressors, and loss are just some of the obstacles we face where we may notice our stress rise and need some support. Our time together will create the space and support you need to thrive.
Many of us have also experienced trauma in our lives and may notice feeling anxious, irritable, lonely, and unsure of who we are. Healing is possible. Together, we will process difficult experiences, changing the way you see yourself and the world, and feeling more hopeful about your future. Please allow me to walk alongside you in transformative moments that will move you forward feeling encouraged, heard, and more in control of your life. Together, we will get you back on your personal path to success.
I hold a Master of Education in Mental Health Counseling from Ohio University and am a CBT, DBT, and CPT therapist who is passionate about skill-building and promoting growth.
What should a new client know about working with you?
If you are new to therapy or just want to start exploring:
The concept of therapy can be scary! I make it part of my mission to create a safe and comfortable environment. The first few sessions we will explore the current obstacles you are facing, what thoughts, feelings and body sensations you may be coping with and what feels like it isn't working for you. Equally important, we will focus on recognizing some of the amazing strengths you bring with you. You set the pace and we take the time we need to make a plan to work toward feeling better. Questions are great! There is nothing wrong with asking questions, changing our goals along the way, and growing together.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
You may have found your way here if you have never been to therapy before (totally normal), if you are looking for a new or different therapist (so important to find that best match) or you may just want to explore what to expect in therapy (thanks for taking that first step). My mission in making the transition and leap into private practice is to provide a safe inclusive space for individuals to find their way again. I want to provide education and support in techniques that work remarkably well to manage anxiety, daily stressors and to heal from past trauma. My goal is to leave my clients feeling capable and proud, able to utilize what they learn in sessions in their daily lives well beyond my office and the time we spend together.Â
?With expertise in CBT, DBT and CPT, I bring clinical expertise but you bring something even more important. You are the expert in your own life, the creator of your story. I am honored to walk alongside and do my best to support you in your next chapter.
