Marilyn
Stettler, MFT offers ongoing groups for Women-Over-Fifty in both Davis
and Castro Valley. Marriage counseling and individual psychoanalytic
psychotherapy are specialties. Marilyn has been a licensed Marriage and
Family therapist since 1979 with a full time practice in San Francisco,
Davis and Castro Valley. Trained in design at the University of
Michigan, she worked in that field until earning her Masters in
Clinical Counseling.
In 2001 she completed a three year postgraduate training program
earning a certificate from the Masterson Institute in Psychoanalytic
Psychotherapy.
While maintaining a general practice working with adults , she has
special clinical interest in helping individuals change personality
patterns, that while originally developed for protection and survival,
now interfere with self-esteem and self-expression. With couples she
arrives at a diagnostic understanding of each individual to help them
change the ways they use their differences and personality styles in
self-protective maneuvers that prevent the collaborative and intimate
relationships they would like.
Concerned about the destruction of longer term therapy by managed care
Marilyn was one of the founding members of the California Coalition for
Ethical Mental Health Care (CCEMHC), serving on their board of
directors for six years.
