Hello, I'm Marina
I'm an EMDR-certified therapist and EMDR Consultant-in-Training, as well as a group practice owner of Hearth Counseling and Consulting, PLLC.
My work is grounded in trauma-informed, relational care and shaped by years of clinical experience and practice leadership.
Across both EMDR consultation and private practice coaching, my approach is collaborative, honest, and developmentally informed. I believe confidence grows through support, not pressure.
My role is not to tell you who to be as a clinician or practice owner, but to help you trust yourself, strengthen your skills, and make intentional choices.
Professional Background
My professional journey sits at the intersection of trauma-informed clinical care and real-world practice ownership. Before I started my private practice, I worked at community mental health agencies, hospitals, and private practices over the years. I started my solo private practice in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic. As demand for care increased, my practice grew quickly, eventually expanding into a group practice with additional clinicians. Along the way, I learned firsthand how complex and overwhelming practice ownership can be—especially when no one teaches you the "everything else" beyond the therapy room.
As an EMDR consultant, my work is collaborative, thoughtful, and developmentally informed. I support clinicians who have completed EMDR Basic Training and are navigating the gap between theory and confident application.
Much of my work is informed by my specialty in perinatal mental health and trauma, as well as my lived experience as a mother and practice owner. I believe clinicians deserve support that honors both their professional identity and their humanity.
WHETHER YOU’RE SEEKING EMDR CONSULTATION OR GUIDANCE IN BUILDING A PRACTICE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS FOR YOUR LIFE, MY GOAL IS THE SAME: TO HELP YOU FEEL LESS ALONE, MORE GROUNDED, AND MORE CONFIDENT IN THE WORK YOU’RE DOING.
