Marlene White Lenard, MA MFT

Specialties

As a therapist with considerable clinical and personal experience, I counsel men, women and adolescents in their efforts to adjust to and grow from such challenges as broken relationships (couples, family, peer); illness, aging, or bereavement; as well as changes in occupation, finances, and even residence. I also support individuals and/​or their adult children who are experiencing the unique issues of Late Divorce (referred to as «Gray Divorce» in the media), which occurs after 25+ years of marriage and/​or after the age of 50. Whether your challenge is long-​suffered or recent, we will examine the obstacles that stand in the way of your next chapter; and, by integrating your inherent self-​knowledge with increased awareness, you will segue from the unfamiliar to your «new normal” – a place of clarity, confidence, and resilience
