About Me
Hi, I'm Dr. Marina Rosenthal, licensed psychologist dedicated to serving couples with high-conflict, messy marriages.
I advocate for my clients’ love stories, even and especially when they feel there is little left to salvage.
I gained relationship expertise through years of training. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oregon, where I received extensive hands-on supervision of my couples work. I further honed my skills in the VA system working with veterans and their partners with concurrent and complex struggles such as PTSD, substance abuse, sexual dysfunction, intimate partner violence, and infidelity.
Healing hard relationships is my passion.
I believe…
You deserve help - even if you think therapy cannot possibly work for you because your pain is too deep, your problems are too big, and your patterns are too fixed.
If your relationship is hurting badly, you do not have time to waste. I only provide evidence-based techniques proven to work.
Real partners with real problems can still work together to build a relationship worth staying in.
More About Me
I’m a fast thinker, fast talker, and fast reader. In my free time, you’ll find me writing my upcoming self-help book for couples or reading fiction about messy love. I grew up in Santa Cruz, California, which left me with an appreciation for a chill lifestyle with lots of nature nearby. I live in Portland, Oregon with my husband and two children.
My therapeutic style is solidly West Coast and also informed by my Jewish identity; I am direct, candid, and slightly irreverent. It’s the privilege of a lifetime to help you build a love worth staying for.
