Ioana Marcus, a Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, LPC, GEP, is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for individuals seeking to become their most authentic, whole, and healthy selves. In her practice, she focuses on supporting adolescent and adult clients who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating disorders. Ioana's approach involves understanding clients' past experiences—whether related to family, relationships, or mental health concerns—and guiding them toward thriving in the present. She works collaboratively with clients to explore their full potential and achieve their personal growth beyond their expectations. Ioana’s therapeutic modalities are tailored to the unique needs of her clients and include expressive arts, somatic psychotherapy, trauma-focused equine facilitated therapy, EMDR, equine-assisted EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Her deep connection to horses enhances her relational, mind-body, and spiritual work, as she believes in the transformative power these beings can bring to the therapeutic process. With a genuine commitment to walking alongside her clients, Ioana creates an experiential and supportive setting where meaningful change can occur.
