Marilyn Hymes, MA

Meet Marilyn

Marilyn brings a grounded, intuitive presence to her work—one that meets clients exactly where they are. Her therapeutic approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, narrative practices, and a relational framework that honors the whole person—emotionally, cognitively, and somatically. Marilyn weaves evidence-based practices together with deep compassionate presence, creating a space where healing feels both safe and possible. 
 

She often integrate expressive arts as accessible pathways to self-exploration, helping clients externalize their emotions, reflect on their experiences, and find meaning in their stories. No artistic skill is required—the focus is on authentic expression and the insight it can bring. She is committed to accessible care and holds a profound belief that every person carries innate wisdom and an extraordinary capacity to heal, grow, and thrive.

Marilyn has a special passion for working with moms. She understands firsthand the enormity of what motherhood asks of a person — the seismic shifts in identity, the changes to one's body, and the quiet losses and unexpected gifts that come with it. She walks alongside mothers with empowering support and boundless love, helping them reconnect with themselves, reclaim their sense of self, and find solid ground in the beautiful, overwhelming journey of raising humans.

Outside of the therapy room, Marilyn has been married for 20 years and is the proud mother of one high schooler and young adult— plus a beloved household that includes two cats and two dogs. She recharges by hiking and immersing herself in nature. And if she were a season? Undoubtedly spring — alive with renewal, creativity, and the quiet promise of what's possible
