Overview

“But we don’t ‘do’ mental health.” Wrong! If you are a human and interact with other humans, you are “doing” mental health. It is not only something “done” in offices by mental health professionals. Just like physical health, mental health is not a passive process, it is dynamic and lifelong. Everyone has mental health and it does not mean the absence of mental health difficulties or illness. Gain a better understanding of the things that really impact our mental health and what a mental health diagnosis does (and does not) mean. Begin to explore the various ways that mental health and wellness can be defined and look for yourself and fellow humans.

She has been joining with children, adolescents, adults, and families in various roles and places for more than half her life and spent 12 years in academia studying and training in clinical psychology. Although she considers herself a scientist and uses research and knowledge, she also knows that there is so much more that we do not yet know and focuses on each person’s experiences to join and learn with them. Dr. Marx also has extensive practical and research experience with and provides clinical consultation to caregivers and direct support professionals. Dr. Marx has a private practice, Place of Mind LLC, that specializes in psychological assessment and mental health and wellness with neurodivergent children, adolescents, and adults to help them discover and define who they are and find, or create, the places where they belong and flourish.
