Marlynn Banta

I am licensed in California as both a registered nurse and a marriage and family therapist. I offer individual, couples, and family sessions. My clientele includes young men and women struggling with anxiety or depression, middle-aged men and women dealing with a variety of life situations and perhaps still impacted by trauma and abuse from earlier in life; and older adults dealing with loss and estranged relationships. My experience includes providing therapy at a county clinic, being a county case manager for children with serious emotional disturbances placed in residential facilities and being a state contractor doing chart-reviews and in-person inspections of psychiatric hospitals, psychiatric nursing facilities, and county clinics.  I have been doing therapy at a private medical group for more than a decade; both in-person and teletherapy.  I do not accept legal-related cases, including lawsuits against employers, divorce, child-custody, or court-ordered therapy. Please be aware that if you are seeking documentation for disability or other government benefits that you are better off obtaining a physician signature. This practice does not bill insurance, payment is primarily by debit or credit card. Though I ask about your physical health, particularly as it may impact mental health, I am not licensed in California to prescribe medications or provide medical care.
