Professional statement

Marcos Rosenbaum is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in downtown Boston, MA. He specializes in working with clients navigating life transitions, relationships, cultural adjustment, loss, identity development. Marcos draws from traditional insight-oriented psychotherapy and body-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and hypnotherapy to provide well-balanced and inclusive therapy to his clients. Marcos is trilingual, offering sessions in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

When working with clients, Marcos listens attentively to the person's speech and the presenting issues. He helps, in a short period of time, identify underlying causes to gain an understanding of each client's unique history and their environment. His treatment is psychoanalytically-oriented, helping clients to process how early experiences influence their ongoing beliefs about themselves and their relationships. Marcos particularly enjoys working with individuals exploring questions related to their identity in the face of a major life change, such as career transitions, breakups or divorce, change in financial situation, or empty nesting and retirement.

With a background in community mental health, Marcos has experience working with a diverse clientele, and is committed to providing culturally competent and compassionate care.


Message to clients

In my practice, by face to face sessions or by using online confidential therapy, I work with clients to feel comfortable and to form a bond, based on trust, that will foster a relaxed positive therapeutic interaction. It is important to me that, from the very first session, the client can communicate his or her story and feels heard, so that I can understand the presenting issues, communicate hope, and formulate mutually agreeable goals to achieve in our work together. I have over 18 years of experience treating clients suffering from relationship or financial issues, depression, anxiety, addiction, life transitions such acculturation, job change, or retirement. I enjoy working with individual adults and couples, am fluent in Spanish, and have a good communication understanding of Portuguese. Based on client's presenting issues, my treatment approach varies from concrete problem solving, using mindfulness, or on working to recognize and speak for one's parts following the Internal Family Systems, (IFS), model, EMDR, Hypnosis and/or psychodynamic approaches. I am sensitive to diversity, multicultural, and adjustment situations.
