Hey, I'm Marcie, and welcome to 7Cups! I'm sorry for whatever stress may have brought you here, but really glad you found us.

I'm a writer, avid reader, and mom to many cats and foster kittens. I'm also currently in treatment for OCD and related anxiety disorders, and have been for about a year. I struggled for a long time before making it to therapy; I know what it's like to know you need help but be terrified to ask for it. My counselor is wonderful, and I couldn't have gotten this far without her, but equal credit should go to the friends who've actively listened to and supported me. It can be such a relief just to have someone say, "I see you. I see what you're going through, and your feelings are valid." I want to give that back to as many people as I can.

I'm passionate about all areas of mental health, and while I've listed some specialties here, please don't hesitate to reach out if your problem's not on the list. If you think you and I would be a good fit, I'd be more than happy to listen. If I'm available to chat, hit me up; if I'm offline, leave a message and I promise to get back to you as soon as I can.
