About Marilyn Babcock

You already know that whatever brings you to counseling right now requires both the expertise of the counselor AND your own courage and willingness to look honestly at your self and your circumstances.

Not easy for you alone, or you wouldn’t be here. It takes both of us.

I can support and guide you as you explore the issues that bring you to BetterHelp and I can help you revitalize your self-care and your self-awareness.

I’ve been a therapist for 25 years and specialize in helping people cultivate the skills to address stress-reduction; completeness/healing with grief, loss and transition; healthy boundaries; self-care and self-compassion.

You must be willing to do your part.

We’ll use:

Honest conversation
Probing questions
Home assignments such as
reading
reflecting
mindfulness practices
journaling

to work with what’s getting in your way and get you reconnected with your wellbeing.

My many years of experience as a therapist and mindfulness educator can help you ease your load and rekindle your spark.

My schedule is NOT in the BetterHelp calendar. Appointments are scheduled by me at our mutual convenience once the intake/screening process is completed and we have decided we are a good match. I currently have openings on Wednesdays between 9 am and 2 pm Eastern, 6 am and 11 am Pacific.

“Marilyn is incredible. I highly recommend her.”

“Marilyn is very helpful, provided resources and tools to apply immediately. She listens and has genuine care for my well being and goals. She’s a great woman to have as a therapist!”

“I’ve had 2 sessions so far with Marilyn Babcock & feel very heard in my therapy needs. She helps me find my grounding of thoughts into action. She also lets me be me. Im finding my session work with Marilyn a great fit & I’ve already taken some great forward steps in my life goals! I love there is self work (homework) in between sessions too. I feel seen & heard.”

“I’ve only had one session so it seems premature to give a full review. But so far she’s been very communicative, asks really good questions and listens well! She encouraging and very supportive.”

“I feel lucky to have found Marilyn. She's a friendly, empathetic, forthright expert who has already given me tons of insight in just a few sessions.”

“Marilyn has been a most excellent help— she has pushed me to consider more deeply the facets of my anxiety and negative thoughts which were ailing me. She has offered to me that I should be more compassionate and supportive if these feelings instead of being ashamed of and flippant with them, though pervasive as they may be. She has offered just enough support and contact without being overbearing and I know that should I need a video or phone conference, she would be available for my support. I feel I have come away with a more inquisitive and open way of addressing new fears and emotions and that I have a more positive self image over all. I have never engaged in any other sort of therapy, so I have no comparison, but I am extremely satisfied with the care I received with Marilyn and BetterHelp and would highly recommend anyone considering to give it a go. Thanks again, Marilyn!!”

“I've had an AMAZING experience with Marilyn. She's kind, thoughtful, and provides you with really good tools to navigate through your emotions and make responsible life decisions. She provides coaching where you find yourself finding your own answers and feeling great about how you move forward with these. She's been a great therapist to me. I really feel my life has improved tremendously with her help.”

“Marilyn is an amazing and empathetic listener. She is able to frame situations in a practical way and help me understand how many of my reactions to events are normal. I look forward to our session every week!”

“Marilyn is the best therapist I have had! She listens, is compassionate, and gently pushes you to get you to live the fulfilling/complete life you desire. She is able to create words for feelings you don’t even know how to express. I have never felt more understood and relieved. I highly recommend her!”

“I have cycled through many therapists over the years and I have never clicked with anyone the way I have with Marilyn. She is an incredible active listener, she makes me feel validated and never judged. She allows me the space to live in my conflicting feelings and encourages me to find my own answers. I'm so very grateful to have found her.”

“She’s amazing! Marilyn has calmed my anxiety, and has helped me give a voice to my emotions and to not fear them. I have more compassion for myself.”

“How did I get so lucky to be matched with Marilyn??? She has such an amazing energy and she is so good at listening and understanding (all) my points of views and acknowledging that there are so many "parts" to all of us. Absolutely amazing. I am so grateful.”

“Marilyn is awesome- so warm, kind and understanding. Always look forward to my sessions with her!”

“Very intelligent and insightful. Will tell you what you need to hear not what you want and I love that”
