Quiet the inner critic and find peace within.

At Dark Bloom Therapy LLC, diversity is welcome in all forms. With extensive experience treating chronic depression and anxiety disorders, I specialize in supporting adults in overcoming the lasting effects of childhood trauma due to early exposure to abuse or growing up in unstable, unsupportive environments. For many, this manifests in daily challenges such as difficulty connecting with others, problems staying focused or present, codependency, self-criticism, low self esteem, harmful addictions, and a general persistent sense of unfulfillment.

An environment free of shame and judgement will be created for you to feel every emotion — even the difficult ones. In session, you will process your experiences through self-compassion and be given powerful tools to calm your mind.

  • Heal from Childhood Trauma: You'll process your experiences, build resilience, and move forward with a sense of power.

  • Overcome Perfectionism and Connect with Others: Learn to embrace imperfection and improve the quality of your relationships through boundary setting, communication skills, and vulnerability.

  • Cultivate Self-Acceptance: Replace those harsh inner voices with kindness, understanding, and empathy. Become your own friend.

  • Reduce Anxiety and Depression: Develop powerful skills to regulate your nervous system and calm your mind.

It takes courage to seek support & I'm honored to walk alongside you.

Take your first step toward a more fulfilling life. Schedule a consultation today.

About Me

Marni Strakosha, LMHC

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (MH25063) with a passion for helping others heal, I guide individuals in overcoming the challenges of childhood trauma and creating a life of deep inner peace. My experience spans diverse settings serving high-risk populations. When I'm not working with clients, you can find me exploring the arts, enjoying nature, or finding stillness in a busy world.
