Welcome To Marina Edelman Therapy
THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, & FAMILIES ONLINE AND IN THOUSAND OAKS/WESTLAKE VILLAGE
With over 18 years of experience, I am a seasoned therapist dedicated to providing skilled and compassionate care to individuals, couples, and families. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, or relationship issues, my sincere empathy and sharp intellect empower you to acquire skills that enhance your emotional well-being and fortify your relationships.
I specialize in tailoring each session to your unique needs, drawing from my extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. As a Gottman Level 3 trained therapist, I bring advanced expertise in the renowned Gottman Method, a research-based approach developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This method focuses on scientifically proven interventions and assessments to strengthen relationships and resolve conflicts.
Through the integration of these therapeutic modalities, I facilitate lasting changes that endure over time. Additionally, I lead a team of dedicated associates, ensuring that you have convenient access to high-quality support. My associates, under my guidance, are adept at providing assistance to further enhance your emotional health and foster growth in your relationships.
Your journey towards emotional well-being and relationship growth is of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to making resources accessible and effective.

SERVICES
Couples
Being part of a couple takes work, whether you’re married, engaged, or in a committed relationship. You may be able to get through a lot of life’s stressors and issues as a team, but others can cause strain and damage to your relationship. When that happens, couples counseling is a way to help you successfully work through any issues and rebuild your connection.

Individual
It’s common to experience emotional difficulties at some point in your life, whether it’s anxiety around a new relationship, sadness at the loss of a relative, or stress at work. These often resolve without professional help.
Sometimes, however, difficulties persist due to their deep-seated nature and their origins in your early life experience. Some of these formative experiences you may be aware of, while others may be more hidden from consciousness. That’s where individual therapy can help.
Family
Being part of a couple takes work, whether you’re married, engaged, or in a committed relationship. You may be able to get through a lot of life’s stressors and issues as a team, but others can cause strain and damage to your relationship. When that happens, couples counseling is a way to help you successfully work through any issues and rebuild your connection.
Mediation
Mediation is a way to amicably deal with conflict relating to family disputes, marriage dissolution, co-parenting and many other issues. As a Private Confidential Mediator, I function as a neutral facilitator, helping all parties come to a fair and equitable agreement. As a Mediator/Psychotherapist, I work collaboratively with an Attorney who is knowledgeable in California state law. This allows participants to feel confident in understanding the legal ramifications and possible alternatives to the decisions they make.
