About

In the chaos of everyday life, therapy serves as a sanctuary—a refuge where the intricate tapestry of human consciousness can be carefully untangled and explored. Marina Van Den Handel, Ph.D., LP, NCPsyA is a New York based Therapist who provides a warm, safe environment for her patients to navigate their journey of self-discovery. Whether their distress manifests as depression, anxiety, or relationship problems, she addresses these issues at their source. Guiding her patients through the labyrinth of their emotions, she helps them cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves as they delve into past traumas, behavioral patterns, unconscious conflicts, and beliefs that contribute to their suffering.

Her therapeutic approach is rooted in understanding the patient’s experience from their perspective. She is a specialist in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis, Couple's Therapy, Trauma and EMDR, and Eating Disorders. Dr. Van Den Handel believes that healing is intrinsically linked to empathic listening, which forms the cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. Drawing from a diverse set of analytic techniques and other modalities, she crafts a customized plan tailored to meet each patient’s specific needs. Through this process, patients work through patterns in how they relate to themselves and others, ultimately facilitating meaningful and lasting change.
