About Marilyn
Dr. Marilyn Ternay uses straightforward, practical methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self esteem, and depression. She is a Colorado psychologist with 40 years of experience and approaches work with a calm, encouraging manner. She emphasizes a strengths-based view and helps people take the first steps toward change.
Her approach centers on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. In sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Conversations are goal-focused and aim to build skills that can be used between meetings.
Dr. Ternay also helps people coping with life changes, caregiver stress, communication problems, isolation, a sense of lost purpose, and social anxiety or phobia. She breaks larger problems into manageable steps so progress feels practical and measurable. The work is paced to match what each person can realistically do.
With four decades of practice, she draws on long experience to offer steady guidance and clear tools. She encourages people to notice small wins and to use them as a foundation for greater confidence. The tone in sessions is respectful and supportive while staying focused on real-world outcomes.
People who choose her often want direct techniques and a partner who listens without judgment. She supports international clients and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, people should confirm current session options and scheduling details.
