Danny Marsh

Danny Marsh

Therapist

Virtual • Albuquerque, NM


Therapy should be a place where you can talk honestly about the things that are difficult to say out loud without being judged or reduced to a diagnosis—or to the hardest chapter of your life.

I work with adults and couples experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, suicidal thoughts, sexual trauma, intimacy and sexual-health concerns, grief, life transitions, military and veteran concerns, first-responder stress, and relational distress. Relational distress can include communication breakdown, recurring conflict, loss of trust, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, separation or divorce-related stress, changes within a family, parenting-related strain, or simply reaching a point where you are unsure how to move forward.

My role in therapy is to help you understand what is happening, identify what you want to change, strengthen your ability to respond differently, and work toward healthier functioning and relationships. My clinical style is direct, collaborative, trauma-informed, practical, and shame-free.

I am independently licensed for clinical social-work practice in Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Florida; EMDR-trained; a Certified Psychosexual Assessment Specialist (CPAS); a Board-Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator (CFMHE); a Board-Certified Forensic Psychometrist (CFP); and a U.S. Army veteran.

My broader professional practice includes forensic mental-health evaluation and consultation. Those services are separate from psychotherapy. Once I am retained as your treating therapist and a clinical treatment relationship has been established, I cannot also serve as your forensic evaluator, expert witness, or child-custody evaluator in the same matter. Therapy is treatment-focused and is intended to support your clinical needs—not to generate an independent forensic opinion for litigation.

Samuel Shin

Samuel Shin

Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


You're an Asian man who desires authenticity, healing and transformation. My name is Samuel, and I help heart-centered, truth-seeking Asian men level up and become the best versions of themselves in their career, relationships and lives. Clients who work best with me have tried things like therapy, workshops, meditation, self-development, but haven't been able to crack the code on specific patterns that continue to sabotage one or two areas of their lives. After doing this for 15 years, I can confidently say that the work is simple, but not easy. It requires you to dive in, be vulnerable, and face things you haven't want to look at.
