Eclectic Psychotherapy Group- Staten Island 121 Colony Avenue, Staten Island, NY 10305

"I was very skeptical about going for couples therapy but my wife convinced me to try it. Our therapist, Talia, was very patient and listened to both sides. She didn't just nod her head like I expected a therapist would. She was insightful, gave us homework weekly and I can see a big improvement in the relationship. Very good practice for marriage counseling."

"Marina is an amazing couples counselor. My b/f was reluctant to attend sessions with me, but I’m so glad he did since there has been a ton of progress in a short time. Marina is very attentive and non judgmental. Helps us communicate better without the screaming. We appreciate it so much."

"I started meeting with Marina when I was really depressed and anxious. I was going through a tough time, but she helped me out so much and still continues to do so now. Even though we have to meet virtually due to covid, it does not change her incredible ability to listen, talk, and help guide me through what I am going through. Talking online with her does not feel any less "human" than meeting in person. Meeting with a therapist is supposed to be a judgement-free experience, and I certainly feel I am getting that when I am speaking with Marina. I feel so comfortable and I'm able to be so open to talk about my problems, even if they are quite personal. She is so friendly, understanding, communicates so well, and she gives me a sense of security in knowing that things will be alright for me. Marina is very patient too, and she's never jumped in to interrupt me or cut me off, even if I have been talking for a while. This is something that a lot of people overlook, but it's actually such a significant trait, and I'm glad that Marina is able to express such a thing. Also, her scheduling is very flexible, and I've never had an issue with making an appointment. Overall, I'm very glad that I found her when I did, and I couldn't ask for anything better."

"I called this practice based on a referral from a friend. I was bummed to learn they do not practice in NJ. The practice admin (forgot his name) stayed on the phone with me for 15 minutes explaining how to go out of network, superbills. He then transferred me to the therapist, Marina, and she spent another 20 minutes explaining the types of therapists I can consider and even recommended some great therapists in NJ since she used to work there. It's great to know there are still good people in this world. Thank you guys."
