Getting to know Marquisha Dunston

Hi there, I'm Marquisha. Do the stigmas or fictional criteria around therapy often get in the way of seeking help? Need some self-care tips? Are you a student-athlete or workout enthusiast struggling to balance mental and physical wellness? Well, I have a mantra that says therapy is for everyone. It can be the ultimate self-care approach since it can be hard to find time to balance our daily duties, emotional well-being, and relationships in healthy ways. Dedicating 45-50 minutes out of your busy schedule to process your thoughts, self-reflect, and focus your awareness can offer insight into managing your worries. Afraid to feel judged? I understand. These sessions will be client-centered, with attention focused on your needs and desires using a reflective listening ear. Mental and physical wellness go hand in hand. I desire to empower clients to find a safe space to build healthy mental and physical wellness routines to manage anxiety, trauma, relationships, or work stress and burnout. I'll meet you with empathy and compassion as we practice healing and positive self-conceptualization. Let's goal plan, identify your support systems, or reframe perspectives on problems. Together, we'll build your mental health toolbox using trauma- and solution-focused evidence-based practices and practical coping strategies. I earned my Master's in Social Work and Bachelor's degree from Widener University, which have equipped me with the skills to support you on this journey. I am already rooting for you.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal as a clinical therapist is to empower clients to recognize and maximize their strengths, resiliency and problem-solving skills when faced with personal challenges or adversity. I strive to empower clients to realize and utilize their rights to self-determination by providing a safe supportive space to heal while building a therapeutic “toolbox” for managing healthy choices for the future.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
