Getting to know Marnel Tucker

My name is Dr. Marnel Tucker, and I am a clinical psychologist with a PsyD from Argosy University. I have 20 years of experience treating adults, young adults, teens, and seniors. I have practiced in various settings, including inpatient, outpatient, dual-diagnosed, and mild to moderate severity cases. I work from a culturally competent position, meaning I am self-aware and able to work effectively with diverse cultures encompassing different values, beliefs, feelings, religions, sexualities, ethnic backgrounds, and gender identities. This awareness helps me remain mindful and fully engaged when working with patients who strongly identify with their cultural needs, attitudes, experiences of discrimination and injustices, biases, preferences, family systems, traditions, languages, and knowledge. My approach I take an integrative approach to therapy, focusing on meeting and respecting each individual’s unique needs. I strive to provide a compassionate and open space where clients do not feel judged but deeply understood. Clients are encouraged to experiment with different ways of being and relating. I want them to feel comfortable providing feedback about what is helping and what is not. I listen avidly to each person’s needs and do my best to accommodate them. Here are several types of therapy used at the practice, many of which can be combined for a single individual: - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This technique blends cognitive and behavioral therapies, focusing on a person’s thoughts and beliefs and how they influence mood and behavior. The goal is to develop thinking patterns that help a person adapt and change unhealthy behaviors. - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A subtype of CBT developed for individuals dealing with suicidal thoughts and attempts. I am committed to supporting my clients through a respectful, culturally sensitive, and integrative therapeutic process.
