Marika Dvorak

Marika Dvorak

Therapist

Virtual • California


As a licensed clinical social worker, I am trained to look at the whole picture. Because I am a trauma therapist who specializes in ADHD and highly sensitive nervous systems, the big picture to me means looking at the many parts that make up a person. Like someone healing their relationship with their external family, I am trained to help people heal their relationship with their family within–the angry parts of us, the depressed parts of us, the parts affected by ADHD, and the parts holding trauma. I’ve been practicing therapy for 14 years. During the first part of my career I worked as a trauma-focused child and family therapist, and I now bring those insights into the work I do with adults.
