Clinical Experience:
- Through her work at Denver Family Institute, Marta discovered her passion for couples therapy. She worked intensively on rebuilding connection and trust between partners by emotionally tuning into each of the partner’s experiences, organizing their experiences into coherent patterns or steps, and then co-creating with couples new ways of relating to each other.
- At Touchstone Health Partners in Fort Collins, Marta worked with families whose children were at risk of out-of-home placements due to their emotional and behavioral struggles. She worked with caregivers and children on creating structured, firm, yet loving, peaceful, and healing households.
- Marta also worked with Dr. Terry Levy and Michael Orlans at Attachment Treatment and Training Institute in Evergreen. There, she worked with internationally adopted children to help them overcome their past traumas, and with their caregivers to teach them how to parent more effectively.
