A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step -Lao Tzu
The fact that you are reading this likely means that you or someone you care about is going through a difficult time. You want a way out but may be confused about what that looks like–or if it is even possible. You want to be able to trust that your investment in time, money, and energy will result in a tangible benefit. You want to see more connection, peace, understanding, and joy in your life.
You don’t want to be judged; you want help. You don’t want to be seen as broken: You are not broken. You don’t want to be seen as a diagnosis: Your identity is far more dynamic and nuanced than a list of symptoms. The problem that you would like to see solved has likely been a burden for quite some time, perhaps having become worse–or better–recently, but still persists to a degree that is blocking a life that you would like to see for yourself.
Let’s sit down together and move you forward in the direction that you want to go! While I have learned a lot of important things in my education to be a psychologist, I believe that who I am as person is what guides me most in my work. I greatly value interacting with others in a way that demonstrates hope, respect, and thoughtfulness. In our work together, know that I will be nonjudgmental, authentic, empathic, patient, and thoughtful in helping you to experience yourself and your relationships with a renewed sense of connection, peace, understanding, and joy.
MY PRACTICE
My name is Dr. Marnel Tucker, I am a clinical psychologist, and I have been in the mental health field for 20 years. I treat adults, young adults, teens and seniors. Throughout the years I've practiced in many settings including; inpatient, outpatient, dual diagnosed, and mild to moderate severity. I work from culturally competent position, meaning I am self-aware. Allowing me to work with other cultures with diverse values, beliefs, feelings, religions, sexuality, ethnic background, and gender differences. This awareness allows me to be mindful and fully engaged in working with many patients who strongly identify with their own cultural needs, attitudes, awareness, discrimination, injustices, biases, preferences, family systems, traditions, languages, and knowledge. I’m available to answer any questions about how to get started and to help you decide whether I’m a good fit for what you need. You can email to set up a call or appointment.
My practice serves individual teens and adults, as well as couples and families. The most common issues I work with are:
