About

Marcia Rebelo, Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I began my social work profession 22 years ago in South Africa and have worked with many different client groups and in different settings over the years. Most recently I owned a successful private practice in Johannesburg for ten years before immigrating to the USA, working with adult, adolescent and child clients as well as doing family and couple work. I have also worked extensively with clients from diverse ethnic, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds as well as those from marginalized groups.  This has assisted me in building creativity and flexibility within my therapeutic repertoire of skills. I have developed an eclectic approach using theory and techniques from psychodynamic, family systems theory, narrative therapy, CBT, Gestalt play therapy, mindfulness and EMDR. I bring dedication and passion to my work and adapt my treatment modalities according to the client's age and/or stage of development, the context of the situation and the problem.
