About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist as well as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida. Being in this field for 30+ years has allowed me to work with many people with various issues affecting their lives. This history includes; counseling battered women, abused children, adolescents and adults regarding substance use, military Veterans/active duty soldiers and their family members, family and couple therapy, people diagnosed with a severe and persistent mental illness and early in my career people diagnosed with Developmental Disabilities. In Family Therapy my approach is mainly, although not limited to, Family Systems Therapy which explores each family members ideas and perceptions and allows the family to examine where any conflicts are existing, where they may stem from and how to bring the family system out of conflict and back into balance. My approach to therapy is eclectic, always respectful, kind and eternally optimistic that each of us has the ability to make changes and live the life we imagine. Everyone's story can have a happy ending.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Phyllis Marcus. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Phyllis is an excellent therapist. She listens and understands and gives great advice and opinions.
Phyllis has been absolutely fantastic in helping my spouse and me grasp the significance of communication. Even when we have differing perspectives, Phyllis always makes us feel entirely supported. We are extremely grateful for everything she has guided us through and are thrilled that we decided to take the leap and give marriage counseling a try! We 1000% recommend Phyllis!
Phyllis has been incredible helpful in my journey to fix our marriage and provide tools for anger management.
We had a great experience with Phyllis. Very professional, balanced approach, and the exercises she asked us to try were immediately impactful. We’re in a far better place thanks to her, we’re on the same page and understand each other so much more. Thank you Phyllis!
She’s very easy to talk to and she likes to give homework- doesn’t work unless you do the homework.
Phyllis is amazing. She is the best therapist I have ever had. She has helped my husband and me a lot, with our relationship issues, and also me on my life situations. We both absolutely recomend her. Thank you Phyllis, you are the best!
Phyllis has been our relationship savior
She has been extremely helpful not only for our relationship but also for our own individual growth. We are extremely grateful to have been matched with her after trying other therapists before. She’s a wonderful listener, very positive, takes notes
Your time with her will be very well spent
She is great. You won’t be disappointed.
Phyllis is incredible. She is just a pleasure to talk to. She takes the time to understand you and takes notes throughout all sessions. I cannot recommend her enough.
She’s the best
Since we are in therapy with Phyllis Marcus, our couple life changed drastically. Communication and understanding became the key words to us. We have achieved so much, that we wouldn't even imagine. We are so grateful to this excellent therapist who led us to the lightest places !
Phyllis is understanding and friendly. She makes you feel at ease and takes away any worry there may be when initially starting the sessions.
Phyllis is a very good listener and offers great unbiased advice. She helped us work through many of our relationship issues. She also has a great way of bringing light and positivity to every session. I feel that Phyllis truly does care about her clients and I would recommend her to anyone seeking relationship advice. Thank you so much Phyllis!
We highly recommend Phyllis. She is professional, empathetic, timely, and super positive. She has a rich toolbox and can always offer an exercise or help change perspective. Whatever it is we are going through, we feel we transform through this therapy, together, and each of us individually.
Ms. Marcus is patient and a good listener. I always feel she is peaceful and calm. It feel safe to express our issues.
Phyllis is my 1st Therapist and right at the bat, I felt welcomed and comfortable with her. She makes it so easy for me to share my thoughts and feelings and she never push her own beliefs on me, I feel truly free disclosing with her about my life and that she is genuinely concern about my well-being. She is also very light-hearted and seems to be always happy to see me <3 thank you Phyllis, for being with me right when I needed you the most!
