Marlo Drago Therapy

I’m Marlo Drago, a dedicated Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with a passion for helping people reconnect with their inner strength, peace, and self-compassion after experiencing trauma. Experiencing my own trauma as a child, and not receiving the support I needed ignited my passion for becoming a therapist. After working with children and families in the child welfare sector, I honed my skills and now focus my practice on helping adults work through little and big traumas. My journey into trauma-focused therapy began with a curiosity about how past wounds shape our lives and relationships. Witnessing the profound resilience of individuals facing adversity inspired me to specialize in trauma treatment, combining evidence-based methods with a compassionate, holistic approach. Over time, I’ve come to see that healing isn’t just possible—it can be a transformative journey toward empowerment, clarity, and true self-acceptance.I work with clients who are:Experiencing burnout, anxiety, stress, or a sense of disconnection from lifeUsing coping strategies that may no longer be beneficial in the long termFeeling “stuck” and unsure how to move forward in an area of lifeStruggling to set boundaries or say “no” to family, friends, or workSeeking improved communication and relationships with othersCurious about how childhood experiences shaped their values and beliefsCommitted to breaking cycles of intergenerational traumaWishing to heal and reconnect with their inner child or inner teenagerWanting to be more present, grounded, and calm in their daily lives Creating ChangeI utilize groundbreaking therapeutic methods that go beyond traditional talk therapy, especially when previous methods haven’t brought the desired results. My training includes: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT): For values-based change and resilience; Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT): For emotional regulation and self-awareness; Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR): For trauma processing and healing; Polyvagal-Informed Therapy: For nervous system support and safety; Yoga and Mindfulness: For grounding, presence, and self-connection; Breathwork: For emotional release and balance.My mission is to create a compassionate, trauma-informed space where you can reconnect with yourself, heal from within, and reclaim a life that feels fulfilling and true to you. It’s an honor to walk alongside you on this journey as you build resilience, deepen self-compassion, and embrace new ways of being.
