Getting to know Marina Barbosa
Welcome to Marina Barbosa PsychHealth: a private, insurance-free practice, that offers the highest level of discretion, and caliber of care tailored strictly to your individual needs.
Dedicated to the DC families and professionals navigating the complexities of life in the capital, recognizing the unique pressures of a fast-paced, high-stakes environment where personal well-being is frequently sidelined by professional responsibility."
With twenty-five years in the field of psychology, Marina Barbosa holds a background as a classically trained behaviorist with double Master’s degrees in psychology and mental health counseling. Her approach to treatment is grounded in a deep, clinical understanding of human behavior and nervous system regulation.
Marina Barbosa serves Washingtonians stress and anxiety needs, and specializes in trauma: offering a focused three-month rapid trauma release protocol.
This targeted framework is designed for individuals who would like a succinct, effective way to address specific traumatic incidents without the need for open-ended, years-long engagement.
By utilizing Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems (IFS), Marina works to alleviate symptoms of trauma at their physiological root, allowing you to return to your personal and professional life with a renewed sense of clarity and composure.
While Marina Barbosa offers specialized training and services, the primary focus remains to help Washingtonians manage the pressures of a high-demand lifestyle, and to resolve the underlying patterns that hinder their peace.
Marina Barbosa PsychHealth operates on a private-pay basis to ensure the highest level of discretion and a level of care that is entirely tailored to clients' specific needs.
I am here to help you bridge the gap between your external obligations and your internal well-being, providing the tools necessary for a balanced and sustainable life in the capital and surrounding DMV areas.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me is an engaged, collaborative, and active process. You will never feel alone or that you are wasting your time. I do not view therapy as a passive experience; instead, we engage in a focused exploration of the behavioral patterns and beliefs that may be contributing to a sense of being "stuck" in stress and anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed.
I integrate neurotherapy—specifically Brainspotting—and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to address trauma and stress where they reside: in the nervous system. These interventions have been found to bring a deeper resolution than traditional talk therapy alone, which is particularly beneficial for those navigating the relentless demands of life in the capital. For individuals seeking a more contained engagement for a specific traumatic event, I offer a structured three-month trauma release protocol.
The First Visit: Our initial meeting is a thorough assessment of your goals and history. It is an opportunity for us to determine the most effective path forward—whether that is long-term therapeutic support or a focused, short-term protocol.
My priority is to ensure you feel heard and to provide a space where the focus is entirely on your recovery and sustained well-being.
