Marina Luger, MSW, LGSW
I am a Licensed Graduate Social Worker (LGSW) with a Masters in Social Work (MSW) from St. Catherine's University. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and mediation.
Drawing on my social work background and diverse experience in industries like hospitality, communications, and the arts, I help clients navigate challenges and achieve their goals. Having lived in several states (MN, NM, OR, AZ, IL, CO), I bring a rich perspective to my work.
I’m passionate about supporting women and anyone interested in exploring their relationships. My approach combines intuition, humor, creativity, honesty, and compassion, with a touch of irreverence.
I believe in the transformative power of the therapeutic relationship and am committed to walking alongside you as you untangle the past, gain clarity, and create the future you desire.
Why Collage?
I chose the name Collage Therapy Solutions because it reflects the idea that every experience you've had, every person you've been in relationship with, every thought, all come together to make your unique life collage! And, like a collage, our sessions will piece together different aspects of your experiences, creating a holistic picture of your journey.
The word "Solutions" reflects my commitment to helping you navigate challenges and find effective paths forward. It emphasizes that therapy is not just about exploring feelings but also about discovering insights, practical strategies, and action steps that empower you to move through life with confidence.
Continuing with the theme of collage, I draw from various therapeutic approaches to tailor our work to your individual needs, ensuring that it resonates with you. And who knows? We might even incorporate literal collaging into our sessions! It's one of my favorite things and it allows us to creatively express and transform energy in a dynamic and engaging way.
Together, we’ll curate a personalized experience that honors your unique story and helps you integrate the solutions you seek in order to create the life you want.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
ART is a cutting-edge approach to psychotherapy that can swiftly enhance mental health. This method uses bilateral stimulation via eye movements and empowers clients to replace negative images tied to distressing memories with positive ones of their choosing. A unique aspect of this treatment is you don’t have to talk much about the trauma unless you want to, and you can still get amazing results.
By reprogramming how troubling memories are stored in the brain, ART can often eliminate triggers and alleviate strong physical and emotional responses.
With remarkable results typically achieved in just 1 to 5 sessions, ART addresses a range of issues, including phobias, PTSD, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse, to name a few.
This is not hypnosis; it’s an engaging, empowering process that puts clients at the helm of their healing journey, transforming painful experiences into pathways for well-being.
