About Marilyn
Dr. Marilyn Ternay uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. She is a Colorado psychologist with four decades of experience. She works with people who want clearer coping skills and more steady daily functioning.
She favors straightforward techniques that help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test them against real life. Sessions focus on small, achievable steps so progress is visible week to week. People bring worries about work stress, relationship friction, or feeling stuck, and she helps them make changes that fit their day-to-day life.
Dr. Ternay also addresses anger, low self-esteem, and loss of motivation. She supports people managing caregiver stress and those who feel isolated or socially anxious. Conversations often center on practical problem solving and building routines that reduce overwhelm.
Her approach is collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and draws on their strengths to set goals. That means sessions are a mix of listening, skill practice, and planning next steps.
She has been practicing for 40 years and maintains a Colorado license as a psychologist, CO Psychologist PSY.0000837. Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. To begin, follow the Start Therapy process and complete the brief matching questionnaire.
