Dr Marilee Garfield

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Hello! I work with many couples and individuals who are "stuck" in their romantic lives, as well as depression and anxiety.”

About Me

Many feel frustrated when relationships stall, or when depression and anxiety weigh heavily. I help individuals and couples unravel these complex patterns. Our sessions offer a supportive space to explore underlying dynamics, fostering clarity and movement. We collaborate to find practical ways forward, building resilience. This supports more fulfilling romantic lives and overall emotional well-being.

Approach

When patterns keep you paused, I guide gentle experiments that shift daily interactions and expectations into manageable steps. Sessions, whether in my White Plains office or online in English, move at a steady, practical pace that balances careful listening with hands-on skill practice. We address anxiety, grief, life transitions and relationship rhythms by naming triggers, rehearsing new responses, and using short between-session tasks to solidify change. People seeking clearer choices and less reactivity often find this collaborative, skill-focused way of working helpful.
