Goleta , CA
LMFT
Marilyn Owen, LMFT, is dedicated to guiding her clients—those who often give too much and struggle to connect with their own needs and desires—through their journeys of healing. Her clients frequently experience feelings of depression and anxiety, along with chronic pain. Many are highly sensitive individuals with a flair for creativity, whether through literary, artistic, or philosophical pursuits. They come to Marilyn seeking resolution from inner conflicts and relationship challenges that stem from early attachment wounds or traumatic experiences. Recognizing the necessity to engage in inner work, her clients aim to cultivate the outer lives they desire, continuing to expand and connect with their inherent wisdom long after therapy has concluded. Marilyn’s therapeutic approach seamlessly weaves psychology with spirituality, the arts, and humanities. Holding advanced training in Jungian and Depth Psychology, particularly the methodologies of Marion Woodman, alongside somatic techniques such as Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR, her practice embodies a holistic understanding of healing. For Marilyn, achieving wholeness transcends mere behavioral changes; it encapsulates the entirety of the person. Having navigated her own experiences with parenting, divorce, grief, and chronic pain, as well as moments of love and joy, Marilyn is also a creative writer, performer, and spiritual seeker. Her diverse experiences inspire her continuous exploration of the human condition. Embracing the incredible tapestry of life, she eagerly anticipates learning from her clients about their unique experiences—their joys and challenges alike.
