Marly McAstocker Counselling specializes in individuals and couples counselling including: Anxiety, Relational Issues, Trauma, Substance Use, Big Emotions, Stress, Gender-Based Violence, Grief, and Isolation/Loneliness. Marly typically sees older children, youth, and adults.
Marly practices from a Narrative Therapy lens, which stems from the belief that the person is not the problem; rather the problem is the problem. Marly views you as the expert in your life and believes in supporting you through curiosity, co-creating meaning, and deconstructing narratives that may be getting in your way. Marly practices from a critical social work lens that is steeped in feminism, postmodernism, and social justice.
Marly believes that it is an honor to be present and witness your experiences and stories as told and felt by you. As such, she will write poems, stories, and letters to you to reflect on your time together.
