Marcy Miller
Pre-Licensed Professional, Ph.D.
People often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of what they’re even feeling. You might know something isn’t right, but not yet have the words for it, or you may feel pulled in different directions, unsure which part of you to trust.
In our work together, we slow things down and make space for what’s happening beneath the surface. Rather than rushing toward solutions, I help you understand your emotional world in a way that feels clear, grounded, and meaningful. My approach is collaborative and deeply relational. We pay attention not just to what you’re going through, but to how you experience yourself and others in those moments. Many clients find that they begin to feel more organized internally: emotions that once felt confusing or overwhelming start to make sense. You may notice greater self-compassion, more confidence in your decisions, and a stronger sense of who you are and what you need.
I bring an attachment-informed, evidence-based approach to therapy, drawing on models such as Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT). I work to stay closely attuned to you as an individual, moving at your pace as we explore your history, your relationships, and how they’re shaping your experience right now. Therapy with me is not about fixing you, but about helping you understand yourself more fully and respond to your life with greater clarity and intention. Above all, I aim to create a space where you feel genuinely seen, respected, and supported—where nothing important about your experience has to be minimized, rushed, or handled alone.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in genuine connection—with a touch of humor along the way. I support clients through life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, relational struggles, and major transitions. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that support your well-being and those that may be holding you back, always with a focus on your unique values, needs, and goals. Drawing from evidence-based therapies, I tailor our work to help you feel empowered, deepen self-understanding, and move toward meaningful change. Taking this step toward healing is courageous, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you create the life you want.

Dr. Mona E Stribling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Aloha and welcome! You have taken a courageous next step in reaching out for help. It's not easy to talk to someone you don’t know about difficult and often private things about your life. Most clients say they feel nervous in the beginning of therapy. So, you want to find the right therapist for you. Good for you for ‘shopping around.’ Please see below more about me and how I work!
But please know, our rapport is just as important as the training and experience I offer you. For therapy to be successful, you need to feel heard, understood, accepted by, and connected to your therapist. So, I also invite you to learn about my style and approach as well as my areas of expertise, and if you feel we would be a good fit, I would be very honored to join you on your path to wellness. Together, we’ll help you achieve your goals and find greater meaning, happiness, productivity, and fulfillment in your life!
