Terry Marks-Tarlow, Ph.D.
Clinical and Consulting Psychologist

Clinical Specialties
- Life Transitions
Whether it’s getting out of an intimate relationship, changing
careers, becoming a parent, or dealing with loss, even positive life
changes can be stressful. Times of transition present opportunities
to develop new coping and make rapid change in psychotherapy.
- Creative and Productive Blocks
I’ve worked with writers, musicians, actors, and painters, using
multiple techniques, including guided imagery, hypnosis, and
uncovering to find and dissolve blocks to creative expression.
- Mind-Body Therapy with People Who
Practice Yoga
I’ve been practicing yoga for 30 years, plus teaching and conducting
break-through workshops over the past decade. I’m adept at
understanding and working with emotional/spiritual issues expressed
as symptoms or blocks in the body. This work is greatly facilitated
when people who already practice yoga.
- Diversity
I am comfortable working with people from various cultures,
backgrounds, and sexual orientations. Even if I don’t have direct
experience with a particular culture, I am sensitive to the profound
influence that our origins exert on us and invite an ongoing, open
dialogue to enrich my understanding.
- Guided Imagery, Dream Work and Hypnosis
I have studied mythology and symbols from various cultures
around the world. I help people flesh out the meaning of their
internal symbolism. Sometimes symbols arise spontaneously in dreams,
or during the day in sexual or other fantasies, or during guided
imagery work in my office.
- Psychotherapy
Over the years, I have become known as a “therapist’s
therapist.” I have many therapists in my practice, understanding the
subtleties and difficulties of sitting on the other side of the
couch.
