She has worked extensively with children in play therapy, helping organize an embrionic Children's Eastside ADD Clinic, and worked with special needs children in the Bellevue School District. Marlena is known to do classroom observations and offer suggestions as to how parents and teachers can team up effectively in behavior management cases. Exceptions can sometimes be negotiated. Marlena has a number of off-site telephone clients in the airline industry who elect to pay in advance and maintain a credit balance. Every attempt is made to accommodate emergency situations and often an appointment can be scheduled the same day.
Many clients prefer a standing appointment time.
If your preferred appointment time is not available, we try to work into that slot over time. When direct phone connection is made, callers will be asked to briefly describe their situation and scheduling specifics and Marlena will answer any questions you may have about her approach and general availability. My little boy no longer has that hardened edge of hurt and anger about the divorce. I am so glad we didn't wait to bring him in, Marlena. Your interpretations of the reasons for his acting out were right on.
