Directory of Inner Relationship Teachers

Marcia Rafinski, L.C.S.W.

I am a psychotherapist with more than 30 years experience working with individuals, families, and groups. I help people transform painful feelings, resolve inner conflict, find positive ways to communicate and create healthy relationships. I have been fully trained in Focusing with Ann Weiser Cornell and Jane Bell, and have been continuing to attend consultation groups with Ann Weiser Cornell to deepen my sense of the work. In addition to Focusing, I was trained in Gestalt, bioenergetics, hypnosis, psychosynthesis, spiritual emergency, and family therapy. My warm, interactive style creates a safe, nurturing space for deep personal transformation and healing.

I welcome sessions with individuals, and my special passion is working with couples. I find that in couple's work the immediacy and freshness of the moment means that people are more able to relax their defenses, and it's often easier to work with the structures that are in the way. I enjoy the aliveness and vulnerability of working with couples in the midst of your issues.
