Marcy Arnold, LCSW, LISW-CP, LCAS

I specialize in working with adults navigating chronic illness, mood and anxiety issues, major life changes, military & dependent challenges, college and career transitions, and substance use/recovery.

As a military spouse, I’ve had the opportunity to move around the country and work with a variety of people. These experiences range from residential substance use programs, middle and high schools, military installations, and outpatient mental health settings. Each has been pivotal in shaping me into the therapist I am today.

My own battle with chronic illness has led me to further pursue education and training around how illness and pain impact mood and behavior. I began learning more about holistic and integrative approaches and started implementing these into my own treatment.

These personal experiences continue to shape how I show up in my work – nonjudgmental, curious, and mindful of what healing can actually look like in real life.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring alternative wellness practices, spending time around town with my husband and daughter, and being joined in sessions by my very calm (and very spoiled) dachshunds, who often curl up nearby as my unofficial co-therapists.

What We Can Work On Together

Many of my clients come in feeling stuck in patterns that no longer work for them – pushing through pain, ignoring their own needs, or keeping it all together on the outside while feeling lost underneath.

You might not even remember the last time you felt genuinely rested or like yourself. Therapy can help you shift out of survival mode and into something more sustainable.

Through our work, you can begin to:

Feel more grounded and less reactive

Build tools that work for your energy, your health, and your pace

Understand the patterns that have kept you stuck – and why they made sense

Learn to set boundaries without guilt and respond to yourself with more compassion

Reconnect with parts of yourself that feel buried under responsibility, illness, or burnout

Therapy can help you find clarity and relief.

If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.
