Anna Belle Marin, Ph.D, MA Counseling

Grotto Counseling Center Coordinator

I believe our natural state is one of physical, mental, and spiritual wholeness and balance. Life events can bring us out of alignment with our true selves and authentic nature. I see the ultimate goal in therapy is to help you gain skills to realign yourself to your center, to your environment and others. I offer support for:

mood disorders, such as depression and anxiety
stress and life adjustments,
improving self image and confidence,
enhancing relationships through better communication.

Therapy approaches I use include:

self psychology,
present-centered awareness/mindfulness,
body-centered awareness including Somatic Experiencing®
psychoanalytic theory, depth psychology, including sand tray therapy family systems
Prepare-Enrich Inventory for marriage preparation and couples counseling.

I draw from a wealth of life experience as a yoga teacher, dancer, research scientist and world traveler, as well as a strong education to serve clients. I hold the following degrees and certifications:

MA degree in Counseling Psychology with a focus on marriage and family therapy and depth psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, CA
Ph.D. in Food Science with a minor in Psychology from Cornell U., Ithaca, NY.
Registered Intern # 1601 with the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists
Intermediate Level Somatic Experiencing® practitioner, a modality used for helping people heal from trauma,
Prepare-Enrich facilitator for marriage preparation and couples counseling

I look forward to supporting you on your life journey.
