My name is Marli Niederhauser (she/her/hers). I recently graduated with my Masters of Social Work degree from Austin Peay State University. One of my core beliefs is that every individual can benefit from therapy and discover more about themselves. I am passionate about my career as a therapist and love working with children, adolescents, and parents. I acknowledge each stage of life can be difficult to navigate for both parents and their child. Important challenges I aid in are anxiety, depression, self esteem and identity, LGBTQ, conflict resolution with family and peers, trauma, life transitions, faith transitions, and behavioral challenges. I believe these years are a crucial time to develop healthy skills.

Another community I enjoy working with is athletes. For the duration of my life, I have participated in a high level of sports. I fully understand the demand and pressure that being a high school, collegiate, and professional athlete brings. I would love to assist fellow athletes through their performance anxiety, returning from injury, or any challenge they are facing. I believe that mental health is equivalent to physical health as an athlete. I am committed to providing my clients with the best services possible. I ensure that the modalities used in sessions are both evidence-based practice and effective. A few of those approaches include a strengths based perspective, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and empowerment focused. I value collaboration with clients when creating a treatment plan. This creates a safe environment for feedback, self disclosure, and goal setting. My goal as a therapist is to bring each client a greater quality of life.

Outside of my professional career, I enjoy playing pickleball, walking with my dog, hiking or the outdoors, and watching sunrises/sunsets. One of my biggest passions is traveling. I enjoy learning about other cultures, trying new foods, and seeking new experiences.

I look forward to working with you!
