Hi, I’m Marlee
Marlee E. Tyska, MSW, LICSW
Holistic Psychotherapist
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist
Kripalu Certified Mindful Outdoor Guide
Reiki Master
CPR & First Aid Certified
Over the last decade, I’ve worked as a Trauma Therapist with children, teens & adults who have experienced trauma symptoms as a result of having post-traumatic stress disorder. I have experience working with those who have been physically or sexually assaulted & those who have witnessed violence in their family or in the community. I also work with a variety of clients who have anxiety, depression, school related concerns & those who are on their own spiritual journeys; to learn more about the deeper levels of themselves. I’m interested in working with women who are going through infertility challenges & those who suffer from Post-Partum Depression.
I hold a master’s degree in social work from Westfield State University (2012), and I earned my undergraduate degrees from Sage College of Albany & Hudson Valley Community College (2008, 2010); where I focused my studies on Criminal Justice, Sociology, Psychology & Law. I am nationally certified as a Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist & have a license to practice independently as a therapist in the state of Massachusetts. I have worked directly with children & teen survivors of sexual assault from my time at The Berkshire County Kids’ Place & Violence Prevention Center. I have also worked with a number of clients who have been affected by community violence and are involved in the criminal justice system from my time at Pittsfield Community Connections, here in Pittsfield. I have relationships with providers at Berkshire Juvenile Court, The Brien Center, 18 Degrees, Girls Inc, & the Pittsfield Public School systems as I often collaborate with these local agencies.
My practice has been formed from what has helped & inspired me along my own journey. For the past few years, I have been focusing on the benefits that nature has on the mind, body & spirit. Being outside & being able to connect to the natural world around us (especially here in the Berkshires, where we have some of the world's most beautiful places to hike) should NOT be a PRIVILEGE, it should be a NECESSITY for everyone! I want to help inspire & encourage others to get out & experience the benefits of hiking & connecting to nature throughout the Berkshires. I tie this work into my sessions with clients, to encourage them to tap into the healing properties of nature.
In addition to my degrees & trainings, I work with energy healing modalities & will be incorporating them into my practice for the clients who are interested in supplemental treatments. I am a Reiki Master & have been practicing since 2010; I am certified & have received my master level attunement & certification. I believe healing comes in many forms & energy work is a great addition to your mental health treatments & therapies.
In my free time, I love to hike with my family. During the warmer months, we are out on our boat or swimming at the lake. I have taken a handful of cross-country camping trips around the United States focusing my time on exploring & hiking the national parks. My biggest dream & bucket list goal would be to backpack the Swiss Alps with my Family when they are old enough to hold their own!
I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about Berkshire GreenLeaf & Wellness, see you out on the trails!
