Marlena Rubenstein, LMSW

Specializes in: Treating Depression, Relationship Issues, and Anxiety

Welcome to Allied Psychotherapy Group! The decision to begin to heal is not one made easily. I (she/her/ella) will trust and honor your decision by listening to and working with you to learn, heal, and
grow in the face of life’s ups and downs. I engage with my clients to provide a safe environment in which their identities and life experiences are affirmed and validated. Having earned a Masters degree in Social Work from Boston University, as well as a Bachelor of Science from American University, I hold licenses to practice social work in both New York and New Jersey. As a non-native learner of Spanish, I have provided psychotherapy in both English and Spanish-speaking settings and have maintained bilingual proficiency for over 10 years. I enjoy working with individuals who have experienced trauma(s), as well as those with complex or otherwise marginalized identities. Most often, I treat combinations of depression, anxiety, and ADHD using a treatment style customized to each client’s unique needs and treatment goals, often using a dynamic approach to help each client with personalized efficacy.

Therapy Tailored to You

Thoughtful therapist matching and personalized support that make all the difference.

Connect

Start your journey by scheduling a complimentary 15-minute consultation with one of our co-founders. During this call, we’ll get to know a little about you and your needs to ensure we find the best fit for you.

Get Matched

Once we receive your information, our co-founder will personally match you with a therapist whose expertise, approach, and personality best align with your preferences and goals. We’ll also discuss logistics like whether you’d prefer in-person or virtual sessions, and the ideal times for you.

Confirm the Connection

Meet with your matched therapist for an initial session to ask questions, share your story, and see if it feels like the right connection. If it feels right, we’ll set up your regular sessions. If not, we’re here to help you find a better fit—because your comfort and trust are our priority.
