Marie Stanley

Therapist

Virtual • Tennessee


Hi, it’s Marie. I’m here to help. I understand the vulnerability of what it is like to face new challenges whether it be personal or professional. As a military spouse and clinician, I’ve had my share of this cycle over the past 20 years. My journey has been both challenging and remarkably rewarding. I welcomed both whole-heartedly because they each helped my growth as a person, wife, parent, friend, colleague, and in my profession.

For a total of combined total of 23 years, I’ve been happy to educate and assist my clients with eliminating unhealthy patterns, alleviating daily life stressors, enhancing emotional regulation, improving self-worth, navigating complexities of intimate partner/domestic abuse, family and other relationship dynamics, and trauma (I completed EMDR basic training in 2026, which offers me an additional trauma-informed orientation). I utilize integrated evidenced based approaches in my work.

Taking the initial step to participate in therapy may take all the courage and motivation you have within you. Let’s start there, and we will work together to navigate the landing to a space of what I call R.E.S.T. (Restoration, Empowerment, Stability, Tranquility) for you.
