Integrative
Psychological Services

Thank you for visiting my website.
I am Dr. Marcano-Davis, a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over thirty years of experience providing quality mental health services in English or Spanish to individuals, couples, and families.
My approach to psychotherapy is integrative.  Each therapy is individualized to address the person’s unique lived experiences, struggles, skills, and goals. It may include one or a combination of the following evidence-based forms of psychotherapy: 

• Psychodynamic Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy (ABT) - modes of therapies that seek to inspire insight and focus on early attachment experiences, unconscious personality patterns, and relationship styles
• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),  Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) - modes of therapy that focus on identifying and managing negative thoughts and feelings, while promoting effective stress management skills
• Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) - a systematic approach to treating complex childhood attachment-based trauma 
• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) - an attachment-based therapy for couples 

My goal is to help individuals discover and reach their potential by developing effective and sustainable coping skills, renewed perspectives, and resilience.  Together, empowered by focused intention, we can successfully address issues related to any of the following:

• Anxiety & Depression
• Attachment Style & Abandonment issues
• Chronic Stress
• Codependency & Toxic Relationships
• Forgiveness, Letting Go
• Guilt & Shame
• Life transitions & difficult adjustment periods due to separation, divorce, chronic illness, grief, loss of meaning or sense of purpose.
• Low self-esteem
• Marital/Relationship problems
• Negativity Cycle, Pessimism
• Social Anxiety, Loneliness

Your struggles do not need to define you or your life.  The process of therapy will offer you the opportunity to reflect and reconnect with yourself.  In the spirit of mettä (loving-kindness and goodwill), you will experience well-being and empowerment, and the quality of your life will improve steadily in sustainable ways that are authentic to who you are and how you want to live your life. 

Appointments are available only to Connecticut residents:

• in-office, on a limited basis, based on availability
• remote, in the comfort and privacy of your own space
