Libby Marler
Everyone deserves empathy and compassion when facing life’s challenges and I’m thankful to be able to provide a space for others to heal and grow through the counseling process. I strongly believe there is a great need to normalize the struggles that we face in life and reduce the stigma that surrounds mental health, particularly women’s mental health. We should not be have to be ashamed of our emotions or forced to suffer silently. After personally navigating the death of my daughter due to a life-limiting diagnosis, I became passionate about providing counseling and support for women who are experiencing big life transitions, particularly the unique and difficult challenges of transitioning to motherhood. I specialize in women’s issues including maternal mental health, parenting, grief and loss, as well as anxiety issues.

We are meant to be active participants in life, not let life happen to us.
Do you feel in control of your mind, emotions, and inner peace? Do you feel empowered? Do you have the deep, intimate connection to your people that you want?
I help individual women transform from stuck and overwhelmed to peaceful and in control by healing past trauma and rewire the mind, creating permanent change in their lives and how they feel.
I will guide you through the healing and growth process.

In the past several weeks, I’ve learned that many of the “thoughts” I was having were actually mental compulsions. I — like many others — had always associated the disorder with compulsive behaviors like washing one’s hands, counting floor tiles, or checking to see if a door was locked. But for those with Pure OCD or Pure O (nicknames for a subset of the disorder that don’t present physical behaviors), compulsions may be “rumination, mental reviewing, avoidance, reassurance seeking, or compulsive checking,” explains Chrissie Hodges, a mental health advocate and author Pure OCD: The Invisible Side of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. The way I reviewed situations to determine how I felt or recall what I did, the way I asked loved ones for definite, concrete answers, and my obsessive internet research were all anxiety-reducing behaviors. Like someone who feels the need to wash their hands in order to feel clean, I needed to do these things in order to quell my worries.
