Marilyn Sulzbacker, LCSW, DCSW, BCD
Many people have come to me because they have felt “stuck” in therapy despite having been in therapy that is primarily talking with the therapist. I have been trained in a variety of treatment modalities (EMDR, internal family systems (IFS), sensorimotor psychotherapy (SP), coherence therapy, and have familiarity with accelerated experiential psychodynamic therapy (AEDP). These guide you to be fully present in your life and relationships. Their focus is on our nervous system, body, and memories that embody our emotional suffering, symptoms, beliefs, feelings, and behaviors as to allow new adaptive learning to replace the old. These non-pathologizing, non-judgmental approaches aim to develop curiosity, compassion, confidence, and clarity. They all trust that our body and mind have the capacity to heal. I love doing this work and seeing the transformations in those with whom I work.
The establishment of a trusting relationship that provides safety in sharing whatever one is experiencing is my top priority. I have both skill and patience to establish this rapport.
I believe that it is critical to maintain professional expertise and to this end I am in group supervisions with experienced clinicians in all the above stated modalities I also attend professional workshops and conferences to keep myself updated.
To reclaim your authenticity, aliveness, and vitality, kindly contact me. I will be happy to answer any questions that you have. Please see my bio for further information

Judith S. Zorfas, LCSW, BCN
Psychotherapy is a journey of self-discovery and growth. Each person has his or her unique history and life situation. Together, we will look at you in your life in order to figure out what keeps you from fulfillment. Our upbringing, environment and biology shape how we experience the world. The way our parents and caretakers cared for us sets the patterns for how we relate to ourselves and to others throughout our lives.. We react to traumatic events by enclosing ourselves in a self-protective wall. Rather than protect us, that wall often ends up isolating us from ourselves and others! My office is a safe, confidential space. As your therapist, I use myself to listen, observe and feel your experience in order to help you “see” things in a new way. You don’t have to stay stuck in the same unsatisfying patterns. There are more possibilities! Self-examination often requires a lot of courage. It can be painful but it can also be fascinating and exciting. Taking the journey to truly understanding our own experiences, feelings and desires is so worthwhile! After all, we spend our entire life with ourselves.
