My name is Marcelane Barrett-Tynes, and I am often referred to as Marcy. I am a
Toronto-based Psychotherapist with upwards of 16 years of experience in the
mental health field. Educationally, I have procured a Master’s degree in
Counselling and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am also registered with the
College of Psychotherapists of Ontario.
My professional experience spans working with individuals dealing with a myriad
of concerns and challenges ranging from relationship difficulties, anxiety, stress,
depression to feeling stuck or having plateaued in their personal lives.
In addition to working with individuals, I have also engaged couples in addressing
unhealthy relationship patterns and assisting them in developing strategies that
improve their collective intimacy and understanding.
The work I do is personalized and tailored to the needs of each person, centering
on the meaningful changes they want to make. I assist people in successfully
meeting their goals, and I encourage them to think outside the box, with a honed
focus of fulfilling their wants and desires.
When working with clients, I use various approaches that identify irrational or
negative thoughts and present alternative viewpoints in designing personalized
solutions, that change their perspectives. Additionally during these sessions, I
encourage people to exercise self-compassion and be accepting of their “real”
self; by learning to embrace and being comfortable within their own skin. My job
is to help to facilitate a sense of growth in the individual, utilizing strategies that
are adaptive and empowering.
